We all have challenges and difficulties that weโre each experiencing and facing. Sometimes these challenges make our hearts feel heavy, weighed down and troubled. ๐ There may be times when we feel afraid, not knowing what will happen in the future with these difficulties that weโre facing.
This week I learned a beautiful lesson. I left my baby in a College out of state. I got on the airplane feeling my broken heart ๐ and I prayed and prayed asking God to please help me calm my aching, troubled and afraid heart. There was a child crying loudly behind me and kicking the back of my seat as I was praying. My first thought was, how is God even going hear me in this loud airplane? But I covered my ears, closed my eyes and kept praying.
As the plane went up and I started to see the little cars and houses, I thought to myself, โHow is possible that God can hear the prayers of all of those people down there?!?โ We rose above the clouds and I instantly felt this energy hit my heart and mind telling me that HE hears my prayers. โค๏ธI feel Him strongly speak to my heart and the first thing I heard is that He is the creator of the clouds, the mountains, the animals, all living things and every single person is known and loved by Him.
Then I heard these words be spoken to my heart, mind and soul saying โI AM RIGHT HERE WITH YOUโ โฅ๏ธ itโs as if I felt Jesus Christ truly sitting in my pain with me. Right there next to me. He understood exactly how I was feeling and I was not alone. ๐ Itโs hard to describe how my chest felt like it was going to burst ๐ฅ when I felt God tell me that. At that moment I thanked Him for being here with me and I cried even more๐ญ But this time my tears were TRANSFORMED from sadness, fear and my troubled heart to a feeling of gratitude to a God who heard my prayers and CALMED MY FEARS AND MY TROUBLED HEART. ๐ค
I no longer felt what I had been feeling. I began to feel lighter, peaceful, calm and I knew that ALL WILL BE OK. โค๏ธ Jesus Christ was in that airplane with me. Thousands of feet above the ground with crying and kicking behind me and yet, He calmed my troubled heart. I also felt Him tell speak to my mind and heart that He has plan for my baby and for me. He has a plan for each one of us. And this scripture came clearly into my mind โ Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
At that moment I knew that I could let go of my fears and my worries and just TRUST HIM and trust in the plan that the Lord has for my life. I also felt this scripture come to my mind. John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
I hope that regardless of what youโre going through in your life, that youโll know that you can always pray. That no matter where you are, on the ground, or in an airplane in the sky ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ…Jesus Christ can be right here with you in your moment of pain. โฅ๏ธ He can comfort you, He can transform your tears and broken your heart into a heart that is filled with light, love trust and peace. ๐
Like the airplane, we can choose to rise above our troubles. ๐ค๏ธ To go above the dark clouds of our lives and to look for the sunshine of Jesus Christ. We can ask Him to be with us, to help us and to transform our hearts and minds. In Christ we can find peace even if our circumstances donโt change. What matters is how we feel and the strength and help that we can receive from a God who knows the plans that He has for each one of us. ๐
Our physical goal this week is to move our bodies and feel gratitude for having the gift of our bodies.
Our spiritual goal is to work on not letting our hearts be troubled neither letting them be afraid. Instead, our goal this week is to choose peace and
to be of good cheer.
Hope to see you tonight at 7pm to release stress and to strengthen ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually. Donโt forget that class will be only from 7-8. So, we will do our best to have fun, release stress, strengthen ourselves and have a little meditation to leave us feeling uplifted with a peaceful heart. ๐
Love you all and see you tonight!
Love,
Lili ๐ธ
