Too Much Has Happened

By Paula Williamson guest writer

Have you ever felt that way? I have! One morning, life came crashing in on me, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I entertained the thought of letting it all out, but felt as if the dam broke, the tears would never stop. I entertained the thought of calling in work and taking care of the inner me. Then I did something so childlike. I stopped in my tracks and said, “Lord, would you do an oblivianectomy on me?” Yes, I made up that word, and something extraordinary followed. Just as I was about to burst into tears and fall on my knees, I felt as if something swooped in, took all the pain and tears, and carried them away. Gone, instantly, still standing–a moment before I was about to burst into tears, and the next minute everything was gone. I have no other explanation except that God heard and answered my childlike prayer.

It is written

ISAIAH 43:18-19 “Do not remember the former things or ponder the things of the past. ¹⁹“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

Prayer

Oh Lord, help me let go of yesterday and leave it behind. You are the WAY MAKER and CREATOR of the universe. You are the GOD ALMIGHTY with a purpose and plan for anyone who believes in YOU. I want to grab hold of what YOU want to do today. I leave the baggage behind. Would You do an oblivianectomy on me? I release the past to you. I EXHALE and breathe in YOU!

Takeaway

Sometimes all you need is childlike faith. Let it go…
