40 pages of notes within 2 days – that’s a snippet of how much I got out of this weekend.
It was a weekend of delving deeper with the Lord. Trusting in His heart and in His plan. Sitting in His presence amidst the brokenness of my soul.
This is just the first of the few blogs I will be writing about the Awakening.
Just a warning: you will be let into some deep stories of my past.
I pray it doesn’t trigger you, but rather helps compel you along your journey of healing. I pray God encounters you where you are and wraps His arms around you. I pray you too can sit in your brokenness and let the Holy Spirit comfort your heart. Don’t run from the pain because pain is not bad. It hurts but there is a purpose in it.
Whatever you run from has power over you. And as a son or daughter of God, You have dominion over everything. So don’t run from it. Don’t let it control you. Be okay with sitting in it – be still and know He is God. Wait for God to move for you, to fight for you, to be fiercely protective of you.
Take a moment of silence. SELAH “pause in the presence of the Lord” (written 71 times in the book of Psalms).
Experience the Lord.
No headphones.
No Bible.
No journal.
Hear the world around you and know you are a part of it.
But intentionally connect with the Father. The Son. The Holy Spirit.
Now, pull out a journal. Process with God. Pour your heart out to Him.
Pray a Breath Prayer:
Think of a word to describe the current condition of your soul right now in this moment.
Then think of a name of God to match up with that condition that will meet you where you are in the moment.
Now come up with a breath prayer for those two words of phrases.
Breathe in the name of God, breathe out the prayer.
An example is:
My soul is currently lonely
God is Immanuel (God with us)
Breath prayer:
(Breathe in) Immanuel, (breathe out) come close to my heart.
Continue breathing with Him as many times as you need.
