Praise In The Storm

[Tkay0]

I thank the Lord for all He has done for me. Truly God is good. I am going through a lot right now but I give Him thanks anyway. I praise Him because I know it is all going to work out for me and that my ladder will be greater. I've been praying over and over and got to the point of discouragement. I was literally on the verge of giving up. I was spiritually drained. I couldn't feel His presence anymore and felt He left me. My faith was drying out. Especially with everything going on. This whole week I've just been getting attacked by Satan in a big way. I've been fending off the fiery arrows as best I can, but I was starting to literally be spiritually broken. I was almost convinced that my prayers weren't heard and all was lost. Today I made a final cry to the Lord that I need help to keep my faith. I told Him I've been defending all these attacks as best as I can but I'm being broken. How do I keep faith when everything and everyone around me suggests otherwise. Then a friend of mine was visiting another church and invited me so I went. I was hoping to get some sort of pick-me-up. Truthfully I was afraid the sermon would even work against me. Boy was I wrong. I got everything I needed and more. My strength restored and my faith reloaded. I was reassured that everything was going to be okay. As a bonus, my father was there and we were estranged because he wasn't really in my life. I really sat by him just because I knew he wanted me to. It was then I realized how much I really wanted him back in my life. Seeing him playing with his granddaughter really made me happy. Combined that with the revival of my faith and I was almost going to cry but I held it back. Then when I looked over I saw he was crying which made me want to cry more but I held it back. Then when he grabbed me and hugged me I couldn't hold it anymore. He said it's time to repair our relationship. So I got spiritually filled and my father. And I got reassurance that God is fixing the problem for me. The situation is basically family-oriented and I always left my father out but God had other plans and made me realize he is an important piece to the family restoration I pray for daily. Thank the Lord.
