Never have I ever had a season in my life that was so challenging. 

 

Before I started this summer the Lord spoke very clearly to me.

   He said this would be one of the hardest things I have ever done.

He wasn’t joking.

Never have I ever been this consistently sick.

Never have I ever been so physically and emotionally spent.

Never have I ever not known the answers so consistently.

But more than that…

 
 
Never have I ever experienced the faithfulness of the Lord so fully.

 

There have been so many times this summer when

I had no idea what to say or do. 

 

No idea.                                

None.

I would breathe this prayer.

A prayer of desperation.

 

Desperate for the Lord to speak.

Desperate to know what would bring Life and restore Peace.

And never have I ever been disappointed.

Never have I ever asked and the Lord not answered

with the words and the actions that would

 
 
Restore             Renew               Redeem.

 
 

Never have I ever needed the Lord to speak more and

Never have I ever seen the Lord be more faithful.

I ask and He answers.

I speak and then I watch as the words of the Lord breathe Life.

 
 

So I prophesied as he commanded me,

and breath entered them;

they came to life and stood up on their feet

– a vast army.

Ezekiel 37:10
