What a difficult week. I am in sales management where I work. Its a tough time to be in any kind of sales with the global recession in full swing. Our business is not immune to these challenges. We announced some tough measures last week, we made personnel changes, and I had to let someone go. We managed through a lot of turmoil and pain last week.
I had a fresh view of trusting God. I felt nothing. I wasn't particularly prayed-up although I did pray some. It was hard to say the least. Today I was tortured with guilt- absolutely oppressed by this, it was physical even. I prayed to the Lord for help, prayed for everyone affected by yesterday's events, and tried to trust the Lord. Nevertheless the grey clouds remained over me.
What set me free is a quick line in a song by Mercy Me that the Lord spoke to me with this week prior to the changes happening. The song is called "Bring the rain". The line that stood out to me was,"bring me anything that brings you glory." That really put meaning in my suffering, somehow this is what set me free.
All I have to do is fully commit my heart to this and pray, "bring yourself glory through me no matter what and somehow that is all it takes."
Glory to God who always rescues me. I am never alone.
