Is it Okay?

Gallery Leave a comment

Is it really okay to not worry over something of which you have no control? Is it really okay to even forget her suffering for a few moments here and there? It just does not seem right to not worry when she is suffering. It just does not seem right to not worry when things COULD go really wrong! But you have prayed. She has prayed. Yet could it really be okay to not worry?

The answer is yes. It really is okay to not worry.

To NOT worry doesn’t say I love her less. It says I love HIM more.

I Peter 5

7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for conversations within. Thank You for offering comfort; for offering and making a way for us to cast our anxieties from ourselves to You. Thank You for caring for us. I know things could go adversely, even bitterly but they could go well too, even good.  Even so, YOU are GOOD and IN CONTROL so forgive me when I worry. Thank You for conversations that remind me it is okay to trust You instead of worry. Thank You for letting me know I am not betraying her or him or them when I trust You instead of worrying over what is or what could be. And so, ABBA, with all the what is-s and the what could be-s in our collective and individual lives we cast them and we accept the grace to choose to trust You instead of worrying. So for the loss and the potential we trust You; for the needed comfort and healing we trust You; for the means and provisions we trust You.
For Dylan. Kerri. Carol. Donnie. Terri and her family. Jamie. Lance. Adalynn. For their healing-s, for their families’ well-being we trust You. For each collective hurt and need finding his or her way to this page of prayer we trust You. We pray for Israel for peace and protection. For America we pray for revival. We ask You to raise up people, men, women, young men, young women, children to boldly proclaim YOUR TRUTH to set souls free. I ask You for blessings for all Readers and Pray-ers here; for courage and wisdom and strength to be hidden in You so their lives can be seen shining Your glory.

I was ironing yesterday; which means I was also watching movies. And since Netflix I have a plethora of good, wholesome, faith filled movies at my disposal. And one of yesterday’s choices was The Moment After 2:The Awakening and it was good! A Parting Salutation used again and again caught my attention.

Be hidden in Christ

And so of course I looked to find the Scriptural basis for the phrase – I heard potential there and I was not disappointed.  And as you would expect I have begun to use it. :)

My beloved sent his customary email to let me know he had arrived to his office and he asked prayer for a productive day. My return email contained the requested prayer – here’s a portion: for his joy to be full – hidden in You Christ Jesus – hidden so no one can take it from him.

Colossians 3:

3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

via Col 3:3 NASB;CJB – For you have died and your life is – Bible Gateway.

At the conception of our rebirth our eternal life, our eternal destiny is HIDDEN in CHRIST JESUS — not to be taken from us. And yet as we sojourn this planet waiting for the adoption of our entire being there are many things we would do well to HIDE in CHRIST that others not take – no a truer word in this instance – that we not give those things away to others.

So I must ask myself (and you) what have we been giving away to others that we should be hiding in CHRIST JESUS? 

joy?
trust?
courage?
strength?
sanity?
outcome of relationships?
outcome of medical conditions?

See what I mean? Those dreams, emotions, all things that make this sojourn holy and profitable — HIDE them in CHRIST – only there will they and we be safe, and yes profitable and productive.

In the movie, be hidden in Christ was an expression of hope, encouragement and love: Be hidden in Christ that the antichrist not find you.

It fits now too.

ABBA, thank You. Thank You for movies that give us messages and lessons based upon Your Word. I pray those movies will long do a work to give people an opportunity to hide themselves in You from the antichrists that are already here and the one yet to come.
Thank you for the good works being done with Jamie. Thank You for Your good will and purpose for her; and as we have been asked we pray that You will strengthen her; that her mobility will increase and that her ability to breath normally will be restored. And above all that, ABBA, I ask You to heal Jamie. To remove every trace of cancer within every cell of her body. And we pray for others. Dylan. his surgery is scheduled again for tomorrow and again we ask You for a textbook perfect procedure and recovery; for doctors and staff to be at their best, to catch and correct every abnormality from start to finish. Terri. remembering her and her family always, all the way through this chemo and all matters. Lance. and his rehab, rebuilding muscles and systems damaged and not just that but helps for family too – that their strength and his be meet for this day – that they be hidden in You LORD JESUS. And there are many Others and matters: Vikki. Ray. Leslie. Ray/Treva. Dori. Family. Friends. Weddings. Much, ABBA. Thank You for taking it all on and doing all things well, ABBA, in JESUS name we ask.

Most of the updates will be from my family for now. For the next few days my focus is on staying up and moving and continuing to breath normally while doing so. That’s the hardest thing right now. Still on low amount of oxygen just to help me along the way. Surgery went exceptional. All things well in that department. Now just to get me breathing at a good level on my own with no help from a tank. We are slowly getting there. Once my lungs get healthier, we will then begin to focus on chemo. Spread the word about this page. It will be the easiest way to update everyone. Love and thanks to you all!!!!
