God Healed my Knees!

Posted by Jess

God is so kind to me. He healed my knees!For weeks I had pain in my knees whenever I bent them. The pain came out of no where and plagued me whenever I sat down or stood up. It made me painfully aware of how much of our lives is spent sitting down and standing up. The pain got so bad that I found ways to maneuver around bending my knees. Then we went to Kingsfest music festival, and Bethel performed. They said that they wanted to pray for people with ailments and my friend said that God put it on her heart to pray for my knees. She told me she wanted to pray for my knees but then we forgot. A couple of days ago I sat down and realized that it didn’t hurt. I bent a little and it only felt sore but not the pain that I had before. I messaged my friend, “Did you pray for my knees?” I asked. “They feel better.” She did pray for them! God healed me! He is so kind! 

It made me think, God wanted to heal my knees, but He didn’t say anything about my anxiety. So maybe I’m struggling with anxiety for a reason. 

Until next time,

Fear of Failure

Posted by Jess

I’m afraid of failing but I don’t have to be and neither do you because God will still be with us in failure. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5). Failure is not the end. I think of failure as being the end which is what makes it scary, but it’s not the end. One of my favorite bloggers once said, “Failure is a chance to learn, reevaluate and grow.”

Until next time,

Revelation of Anxiety

Posted by Jess

I had a revelation last night about the cause of my anxiety. It’s the way I’ve been looking at life and living. I’m viewing life as if there’s a place I have to get to to be okay. Like I have to reach some place and every decision and action contributes to whether I reach it or not. So every decision and action contributes, in my mind, to whether I’ll be okay or not. Which causes anxiety. The truth is that I am already okay. It is well with my soul. 

The second part of this revelation is that God is teaching me who he is through this trial of anxiety and trouble making decisions. I’m learning who God is, like he is kind, and when I mess up He can provide new opportunities.

I haven’t figured out how to change my thinking yet, but I gave it to God so I am sure He will help.

Until next time,

Another Shooting Star

Posted by Jess

God showed me another shooting meteor! God is so kind. I was in the car looking at the sky, thinking I haven’t seen a shooting star in a while. I looked out the window but didn’t see any. Then a little while later I saw a huge blue shooting star off to the side of my car. It was big, bright and burning blue then tapered off to a golden shooting star. I was looking for a small shooting star and God showed me a meteor! However when I saw it I wasn’t looking for it. I had stopped looking. It completely took me by surprise. My heart stirred. God can do far more than we ask or imagine. I was imagining a small shooting star and God gave me a meteor! 

And I didn’t miss it. Sometimes I worry that I will miss God’s blessings, but I didn’t miss it. And I wasn’t even looking for it.

“I will never leave you” was playing on my stereo. “I will never leave you. I am with you always.” 

“Know that I am with you. You will never be alone... I’m forever, always with you, I will be right where you are. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Know that I am with you, you will never be alone.” 

God can do anything, even show me a meteor on the NJ turnpike (twice!). 

God is with his children. If he is with me then he is with you too.

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭ESV‬‬
