“Desperation” Blog #82
If you really want to make God laugh - tell him your plans!
When a person gets desperate, the mind starts racing, overthinking takes place, wrong
decisions are likely made! Every single thing I expect to go “my way” today, will it?
No matter what I do still there are those days to climb back out of darkness.
This is Desperation. So what is the recipe for healing? These are questions every single
person has asked of themself. Every one of us have gone through some form of darkness
in our daily living.
This is LIFE. The raw, down to earth feelings of living with disappointment.
However, “TRUTH” finds the person who is brave enough to pray for HIS help.
For HE is here right now.
It is a strong person who knows and believes it is possible to climb out of darkness.
Don’t be afraid, for all of us have been there. Nothing to fear. Believe in Jesus Christ.
It is the courageous person who gets back up and refuses to see darkness anymore.
So how to pick yourself back up? Just say 4 small words, “Please help me Lord”.
This is the only way HE comes because we all have “FREE WILL” to do things our way!
It is time now, when you know you feel helpless, time to show “self” the way out.
Deep inside us all, there is a knowing that there is light at the end of each dark tunnel.
N0 one can make us do a single thing we do not want to do. I’ve said it time and time
again in many of my blogs. The main difference between one person and the next, is
“CHOICE”.
The knowing we have “free will” can turn out to be frightening. Free will can prove to be
overwhelming. Free will can be extremely disruptive. I have learned to understand this
now. So every morning I wake up asking for HIS help. I know I can’t possibly do it alone
anymore. It’s just too damn hard to be all alone internally. I feel HIM with me now.
Because of this angelic awareness, I have seen my life change in many remarkable ways.
My mind, not racing any more. I do not try to plan out every outcome. I give up my will
and let HIS will be done working within me all day and every day, and trust in every
situation. Many of us are fearful of our future. Literally, not just fearful but stuck in a dark
place of “not wanting to let go” of someone who may have hurt us deeply. Can’t forgive.
Denying truth. Going over and over, alienating loved ones.
THIS CAN ALL STOP NOW.
Whatever happens, I will not give in to the darkness!
I listened to Glen Beck the other morning - He shared that the Number One song in
America today is: “Rich Man North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony.
The crux of the song is about alienation from everything! Above all, the deep decline of
America today. He infers why bother with anything other than drugs and alcohol, when life
just isn’t worth living anymore? Wow. What a defeating message.
Glen Beck went on to share how many people are buying into this belief! A belief that
couples itself with no faith in anything. A belief is nothing. Who even wants to GO to
church anymore? Anything and everything is justified for personal gain. Why get married
anymore? Everything is so easy. Just live together right? A belief that Life has no intrinsic
purpose but to live day in and day out, one day to the next, with no spiritual deep belief.
Now, more than ever, there is such a powerful need for inner spiritual truth. I remember
after Mother Theresa got the Nobel Peace Prize and a newscaster asked her what can we
possibly do to help stop all the evil in the world? She said, “One person at a time”. We all
know who we are. So where do I start?
I could not begin to share with you how overwhelming my life became, right after I
thought I had obtained everything in my life, to perfection. Yet, I was not in control
of the unexpected. That one hot summer July morning when I least expected it, the
bottom fell out. There was a murder in my family. At that moment, my life changed
forevermore. I was totally unprepared for the “unexpected.” This dark event caused me to
plummet to the blackest realm of living.
Finally, when I could take it no more, I searched and began to dig so deep, that I refused to
stop until “Life would make some spiritual sense to me”. That is when I experienced a
miracle myself! That is when I came face to face with the Holy Spirit.
In my heart, I know I daily I fight the darkness that tries to take over myself with desperate
feelings, but now I have HIS help and HIS guidance and HIS light. Desperation can take
over any one of us, when we least expect it.
So I believe daily, it’s all up to me. I feel secure when I take HIM into my heart.
What do I want? Where am I going? Who AM I? These are the questions that keep me
focused. I must now decide to discipline my day and learn to discern. To be able to
choose wIth inner judgement of being in the world and not of the world. To learn to be so
spiritually strong, I will turn off the “television of life”, not buy into drama! Be above it.
I am here to learn my own lessons, stay prayerful and not judge anyone!
Can I dig my way out of desperation today?
