THE most transforming truth from God’s Word that brought me the most healing in my life was the revelation that God is never going to leave me. The world and our lives can be so unsettling and destabilizing, that our anxiety can go through the roof at times.
In my own life when certain events and physical problems got so chronic that I was in a constant state of anxiety every day, which only added to the physical problem, all I could offer God in prayer, was tears, questions, and desperation. I was holding on for dear life.
Medicine was not close to finding an answer or bringing relief and I began to despair. I knew in my mind what God had promised in His Word about healing, but my body was not coming into line. Talk about walking by faith. I felt so alone and isolated, even in my own house, that all I could do was cry out to the Lord and trust that He knew the state I was in and was working on my behalf.
In was there in my despair, that God met me and strengthened my heart with Isaiah 41:10. It became literal to me because I had to have God’s strength to physically walk, show up to lead worship at my church, take a shower or function in the smallest things most people take for granted. Oh how faithful God is. He is our only help. Our only strength and refuge!
