 RESTORE ME AND I WILL RETURN JER 31:18 |
|
| Lord, I don?t want to carry this baggage anymore. I don?t want to inflict my pain on others anymore. I don?t want to harm my body anymore. I thought that if I told everyone about the injustice I?d feel better. I didn?t. It only cost me friends and kept the pain alive longer. I thought if only they?d acknowledge how wrong they?ve been (and how right I?ve been), I?d feel better. They didn?t, so I felt worse. I needed to understand why – so I bought magazines and logged onto chatrooms. It is well and truly ditched, dumped, buried and busted. But that didn?t work, because my mind became filled with stuff I didn?t have the emotional energy to deal with. I hoped that time would make me feel better. It helped, but it didn?t heal, because there were still too many things that triggered old memories. I thought by moving churches I?d feel better. I didn?t, I only changed chairs, not what was going on inside me. Heavenly Father, today I am laying down this baggage, never to pick it up again. Help me to walk with you gradually, patiently, consistently. I have decided to forgive ? and keep on forgiving ? today the past has lost its hold on me. The faith you have stirred in my heart shouts out, ?You have restored me ? and I?m back in action!
