um there’s a movie called to Joey with
love and Joey was a woman who was strong
in her faith and loved Jesus with all of
her heart
um she was diagnosed with cancer and the
treatment wasn’t working and so as she
was deciding that she wasn’t going to go
through chemo anymore she asked for
prayer and she did ask that people would
pray for a miracle but here’s what I
love that she said she said yes pray for
a miracle because God does still do that
but she said even more than that pray
that God would give me the strength to
accept whatever his will is and so that
is what I am learning is that we pray a
lot for you know Financial things and
for healing and for you know the the
Thorns to be removed as I’m reading the
Bible I’m finding that God cares more
about what’s happening inside of our
hearts as we face those things and so I
believe in asking like Jesus did asking
for the things to be moved I believe in
asking can this cup be removed from me
but I also believe in God really wants
to answer the prayer help me to have the
strength of will to accept whatever it
is that your perfect will is so I’m just
finding that my prayers are changing I
still pray for healing but I also say
Lord whatever your purpose and your plan
is for this help me to have the strength
to accept whatever that is that is so
good I I think very often when talking
about this kind of thing about how the
people of Israel left Egypt slaves but
not only slaves but with a slave
mentality so they were free on the
outside but they were still slaves on
the inside but when they arrived to the
promised land they had power they had
purpose they had calling but they had to
go through a lot in fact one of the
first battles they go through they’ve
crossed the the Red Sea and they’re
attacked by the I think they’re called
the amalekites and Moses tells Joshua
you go down there and you fight them and
he goes up on the hill and he holds up
his hands with Aaron and her holding his
hands and when his hands are up they’re
winning and they’re down they’re losing
and the story of course is that praise
worship prayer and just essentially
enduring like holding your hands up for
hours and hours and hours is hard
absolutely and so we learned from that
story it’s like it actually says that
that God hated the amalekites and
blotted out their name so did God send
that attack on them no but did God use
it to make them a people of the promised
land a people of purpose yeah absolutely
and so the stuff that we go through God
didn’t give your friend cancer right and
we can feel that way when we’re when we
get cancer when we go into these things
we can think God is punishing me because
of this thing I did or this whatever we
all have stuff and and we just we gotta
just tell people look God’s not
attacking you but he’s going to make you
stronger smarter Fuller deeper right
there are some things that you can only
get by walking through a valley we’re
not always going to be on a Mountaintop
and that’s another thing that God has
really been showing me is that as much
as I would love for the pain to be
removed it’s often in the pain it’s
often in the fire that he’s really
shaping us and sculpting us more into
his image and so yeah I wish that my
friend was still here
um and yeah I think about her boys that
were left and her husband Brianna’s that
is left to raise you know their boys but
here’s what I know is that if we’re
going to call ourselves men and women of
faith that when we Face situations that
require faith that we cannot back down
that that’s actually the time when we
have to rise up and actually believe
what it is that we are preaching about
what it is that we are singing about and
so as much as I would love for things to
always be easy I’m learning that it’s in
the difficult times that God is teaching
me the most and it was honestly in that
dark period where I thought that there
was no way out I saw no hope whatsoever
it’s actually now that I have this new
music out of the dark that I’m seeing
how God is using even those difficult
things the weak things the horrible
things I wish I could take away he’s
actually using that to minister to more
people so awesome that’s how he works we
cannot live and not have any suffering
any painful times any Seasons that we
wouldn’t prefer you’re going to right
um it’s guaranteed just by virtue that
we’re alive and man I can remember there
were three women that were each going
through separate hard times this is
maybe three years ago and during that
year there were three women in my life
that were all going through I mean hard
stuff illness uh trauma
and each of them were at such a low
point a hard point with their
physicality that they either didn’t have
the strength to literally pick up their
Bible and read or they couldn’t attend
church anymore because of their health
issues they literally could not function
in the way they usually would because of
what was happening in their life and
each of them independently of each other
they don’t even know each other but as I
was talking to them individually and
spending time with them they each said
something similar they said I’m so glad
that me and the Lord already had a thing
going on because now that I’m in the
midst of this where maybe I can’t even
get out of the bed there are scripture
verses that will come to my mind or
there’s hymns right mom was one of them
there are hymns that Mom would just
start singing when she couldn’t even
move anymore she would just start
singing these little hymns that that
were buried on the inside of her she
would be encouraged by it these women
were encouraged by things that the Holy
Spirit would bring to their mind about
their friendship with the Lord they were
so so glad that they had stabilized
themselves in Good Times in preparation
for bad times and so I think that’s so
critical for all of us knowing that
we’re going to walk through suffering
they’re going to be things that come in
our lives that we do not prefer well
then when things are pretty steady we
better be using that time to cultivate a
friendship and a stability with the Lord
you know I think I do think that we
handle we process things and we handle
things differently you know and I and I
and I have a way to and I think it was
the way I was raised like you know when
my kids would fall down scrape their
nail I’m like you’re okay you’re okay
come on come on come on come on you’re
okay you’re okay you know and and I
think it may be the generation that my
mother was raised in and I was raised in
that it’s like okay just don’t worry
about that we can’t look at that we
can’t think of that we can’t we can’t
take time to process that you know we’ve
got to move forward we’ve just got to
move forward and sometimes I think it
results in stuffing things down really
true you know and maybe that has you
know uh detrimental effects yeah and I
think the way I process thing is is I
try to ignore certain things you know
and I of course I process it through
prayer and talking to God and I think
but you know it’s how we it’s how we
find ourselves doing different things
different situations you know like if
you’re talking about your mother’s death
you know you probably I don’t know if
you even processed it the same way nope
if you found yourself doing it
ist is the same yesterday and today and forever.” – Hebrews 13:22 #tbn #womenoffaith #priscillashirer #prayer
