Today, January 1, 2015, I have something to share that I hope encourages all who read it. Yesterday, while going through my day, I began to feel fear about all this planning for filming Shots in the Dark and for Ebenezer Productions. There are many reasons for this fear, and my weaknesses are the greatest. I asked the Lord to help me and soon dismissed my fears. Early this morning, around 2:40 I awoke and began to have great fear again. Again I prayed. I said, Lord, I do not doubt that You will accomplish this great task through those you have assigned, including myself, to do this project. I know You are also aware of my humanity and understand my need to express these fears to You. I know you will provide what we need at the time we need it. I want to write down my fears in my prayer journal when I get up so there can be a record of it, but I need to talk to you now about them. then I started to list my fears to Him and soon fell asleep doing it. My intention was to list in writing those things that caused me anxiety yesterday and last night. These things include my weak organization skills, the need for unity among the team of people the Lord has chosen to be part of this project and the lack of good equipment to capture the visual and audio for the movie. When I got up this morning for my prayer time, I went through my usual routine, and just before sitting down to start my journaling; I picked up the packet of verses I use for daily strength. When I read what todays verses were, I cried for joy with the intensity of one who cries over a tragedy. Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10. Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him and He will help you. Psalm 37:7 How the Lord does this, I dont know. I dont want to know. I love the mystery of it. He knew that I would need these verses on this day to help me hold onto His promises that much more tightly. But even then He was not done. I noticed that Id made a mistake in one of the verses, and could not rest until I corrected that verse, which made me write that 3X5 card over again. Usually I just focus on the verses on one side of each card, and then flip the card over for the verse on the other side the next day. Today, since I was rewriting that card, I had to read the verse on the flip side. Dont worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God your need and dont forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience Gods peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and heart quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7 God is so good. I hope this little testimony gives all who read it as much encouragement as I felt this morning and by that encouragement seek the Lords comfort from His Word. May your 2015 be blessed beyond what you can imagine.
