September Writing by Cathy Friberg - 2015
I have been struggling with a certain trial in my life for so long now. It is something which stares me in the face each and every day, which makes it difficult to set aside emotionally. I have been declaring God's word over the situation, praying in the Spirit, and just plain pleading with God to answer my prayers. There are times when I tell the Lord that I cannot stand in faith any longer. That usually occurs in the evening when I am "dog tired" and my strength for the day is gone.
But then, after a good night's sleep, I awake with a song in my heart and the praise of God on my lips. As I begin my devotional time with the Lord, reading His Word and singing His praises, a fresh resolve and tenacity rises up in my spirit.
"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness. His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him!" Lamentations 3:22-24
"What was I thinking, last night?" I tell myself. Of course, God is on His throne! He will come through for me again, as He has innumerable times in literally impossible situations!
My prayers are been heard and the Lord is working to perform yet another miracle. And so once again I set my request before the Father, thanking Him for the answer and asking His forgiveness for my momentary doubts and fears.
I share all this in hopes that someone may be encouraged to never give up believing for the Lord to make crooked places straight, part Red Seas, and remove every mountain which stands as a hindrance to victory in your life.
"For truly I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
