Moms, God hears your prayers !
Search the Scriptures
I do one thing : forgetting what is behind and moving towards what is ahead, I run towards the goal. Philippians 3.13
It happened to me several times to meet people who had everything to succeed and yet who had allowed themselves to be immured in a painful past. Their words were symptomatic of a life marked by real suffering : "I will never make it ! I will not be able to forget all the misery I have endured !"
Unfortunately, by dint of looking at their yesterday's wounds, they locked themselves in a real fortress, becoming like prisoners of despair : "My life will not change !"
In truth, we have all experienced different seasons in our lives. If some manage to get through the toughest times, it is not because they are better or more qualified, but because they have a goal in their sights to achieve.
I remember this woman who had leukemia. She told me one day : "I will fight until the end for my children !" A few months later, in a miraculous way, she was totally healed. It must be believed that God had placed on her heart a goal much stronger than the pain she was enduring : that of seeing her children grow up.
Whatever goal you pursue, don't look back if you want to achieve it. God's wish is that you move forward ! "Do not think about past events, do not consider what is old !" (Isaiah 43.18).
Listen the voice of God
It is not easy to look to the future when the past is too painful. Let's take the time to listen to what God wants to say on this particular point.
Praying is simple. Talk to your God who loves you and who can hear everything. Here is an example of a prayer : "Lord, you know my past. You know how much I suffered and how much I still suffer thinking about it. I can't take it anymore : come to my rescue, you the savior of my soul! Come Free myself from the impact of all these bad memories. Amen !"
Praise God
After reading this message, you can thank God by remembering all the circumstances where he visited, consoled and restored you. All the times he has done good for your children and those who are dear to you. You are his wonderful creature, so praise him with all your heart !
Act today
If you feel like God has forgotten you, reaffirm your trust and faith in Him. He will touch what is not yet healed in your life and in your personal history. He will continue to assist you in the education and care of your children. He has promised, He will complete in you and in them the work of restoration He has begun.
Honor the Lord
Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.
"Thank you, Lord, for I know you have not forgotten me! Yours be the kingdom, the power and the glory, amen !"
