You Might Break My Bones But You Will Never Break Me Down
I DID end up going to the doctor because the pain in my face was becoming more intense (to read the background story click here) only to find out my
nose is broken and it is past the point
of being able to be fixed without surgery. Eeeeeeek.
Thank God we are just talking about a nose here. I have
intense pain in my face that lasts all day long, but I pray it is only
temporary while my nose is mending itself.
But if the enemy thinks he was going to use this to bring me
down, discourage me, make me think and say bad things about another human
being, he better think again.
For our present troubles are small
and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs
them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now;
rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see
now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. 2
Corinthians 4:17-18
The crooked nose is now just going to be a reminder to pray
for the woman who broke it!
I wonder what effect we could have on this woman’s life if
everyone who reads this blog says a little prayer for her. I ask you to take a
few moments and with sincere hearts read these words as a prayer to our Father
on her behalf…
“Father God, bless this woman who is broken and hurting.
Come to her rescue, defeat her enemies, and raise her up. Pour into her Your
Spirit of truth and life. Flow Your joy and Your hope through her veins. May
she know she is deeply and passionately loved by You. I break all chains trying
to hold her down, and I speak freedom and healing in her heart and life. And
may her life be a testimony to Your goodness and faithfulness. For she has been
created for greatness. Amen.”
For we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen
world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in
the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
