The Help for friends in Pain
Psalm 37:1-9
Eddie, do you feel what I feel about life? A life filled with pains which are: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual? It hurt's so bad and the depression is awful!
Sad to say! But yes, because of my wife's on going MS illness, my work place as a school teacher, my own aches and pains, feeling of not being fulfilled as a preacher, not preaching and ministering on a regular basis, being persecuted when I was in the ministry and watching my family going through hell! Leaving churches, and having your back turned on you by minister friends and denominational leadership saying, "What did he do wrong?," "I can go on and on and on."
What do I need to do to keep my sanity?
I have to make decisions to stop this negative thinking! I must daily develop my thoughts to be positive, to plan, to pray, to forgive, to daily read the Word for encouragement and to take responsibility for my actions and this my friend is not easy because it has to be constant and consistent!
The first step was to “Trust in the Lord.”
Secondly, Psalm 37:3
"Delight thyself in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
To delight thyself in the Lord means to make God the joy of your heart, to rejoice and to understand who He is and because of that we can understand what He can do for me! I believe an example is like delighting yourself in ice cream, to be deeply involved in it and to fully understand it’s make up, that is, "what’s in it that makes me to want to desire it!
God loves you dear friend, walk with me in these coming days as I explain more about these verses!
Love Eddie
