Washed By The Word

I woke up on Wednesday with an undercurrent of anxiety again. Yep, again! I had to rush off to an appointment early, but I got out just in time to log into the last half hour 4word’s Wednesday’s bible. And boy, did I need that session!

My friend, who was leading, exhorted us with the following Psalm,

Psalm 121

“The Lord Our Protector

A song of ascents.

1 I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
​2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
​4 Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.

5 The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
​6 The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.

7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;
he will protect your life.
​8 The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.”

– Psalm 121 (CSB)

As we read it, I felt a blanket of peace cover my soul. So I won’t give you too many of my words today, but I encourage you to meditate on the words of the Psalmist because even when I can’t pinpoint what’s causing anxiety in my life, I know the Lord is my Protector. Let this Psalm wash over you today.

Happy Mothers’ Day to all the mothers! And for those of you whose mums are with mine in heaven, I send you hugs and love!

Until next week …

Miracles + Blessings!

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Forgiveness “Who else do I need to forgive?” I asked the Lord on Saturday afternoon. A podcast I was listening to inspired the question. I leafed through a Rolodex in my mind of people I’d held in unforgiveness. As I flipped through each one, I heard, “nope, nope, nope”…finally we got to the end and no one popped up. Yet, I still felt like there was someone I needed to forgive. Am I perfect? Absolutely not, but getting to the end of the Rolodex present…

When Rest Speaks

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones When Rest Speaks Last week I shared about God’s presence and how I have been walking in a season of silence with Him. I’d ask Him questions and hear silence. So, I took the cue to sit with Him and not ask for anything. It has been hard to do that without distraction. To just “BE” with Him. I have to fight for that space especially in my mind. Well, friends something interesting happened in this place of “being”. On Wednesday morning, a dear friend sent…

Practicing His Presence

Brenda Savanhu Author of Memorial Stones Practicing His Presence Have you ever gone through seasons where God is silent? Like you know He’s with you but He’s quiet. You’re asking all kinds of questions and going to Him with all kinds of petitions but nothing. That’s where I’ve been recently. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t feel like He abandoned me I just realized He wasn’t answering my questions or guiding me in the way I’ve been used to. I even looked back at a past season where I would hear…
