“Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying: ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘Will you not learn a lesson and obey my words?” … “But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me.” Jeremiah 35:12-13, 14
Today I am sharing an entry from Journey Through The Stillness. (My personal spiritual journal shared publicly on facebook.)
March 23, 2011 – Today I come to you, Lord, broken. I am mentally and physically worn out. It seems that I am destined, that you are determined, to repeat a lesson for me over and over again. I learn once again that there is NO ONE to whom I can turn, NO ONE to whom I can run, other than You. Only You know my inner most parts. Only You know my heart. Only You know my fear. Only You know me as I truly am. Take me into Your loving arms, Lord. Wipe away my tears and cast out all my doubt and fears. Make me whole, complete in Your sight. Leave me never, for I will fail miserably. I am Thine, and Thine I wish to be.
This was a time period with many doctors appointments and disappointments. Sometimes our difficulties serve to bring us to our knees, and in doing so, deepen our relationship with our Lord. There is no one else who knows us as He does. Hopefully, we learn our lessons quickly so as not to repeat them over and over again.
If you are continually repeating mistakes, or going through the same difficulties again and again, ask Him what He is trying to tell you. It might simply be that He wants you to turn to Him for the help you need. To let go and let God! Often, it is when we give up and lay it at His feet, that the difficulty resolves itself or goes away. If not, He at least gives us strength to endure.
