It hit me out of the blue like a bad toothache. Crippling anxiety descended 3 years ago and refused to let up. I didn't know what to do. I could barely eat, let alone write, speak, or create. Never in my life had I experienced anything like it and it terrified me.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I begged the Lord to take it away but He simply said, "rest." He led me to Psalm 23 and the words nearly jumped off the page: "He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul" (Psalm 23:2, ESV)⁠.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And that's when I saw it. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
He MAKES ME LIE DOWN! I knew in that moment it wasn't my choice. I wasn't about to argue, but I wanted to know why. Why anxiety? Why ME? That's so not who I am! But, it drove me on a desperate search for answers as to why on earth God sometimes MAKES us lie down? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Psalm 23 seems so peaceful—still waters and all that—and much of it is, but I'm learning God is in complete control of our circumstances and He knows exactly what we need every moment. Sometimes He makes us lie down to get our focus, to protect us, to help us, to realize we're blessed right where we are. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Is He making you lie down today? If so...
💕
(to read the rest head to @joyfullifemagazine and join me there 💖🙏) It would be my honor to pray for you 😊
