Majesty

“Overwhelmed with bliss are all who will entwine their hearts in him, waiting for him to help them”. Isaiah 30:18 TPT

This was my devotional reading this morning. This is exactly what happened to me yesterday. I had a difficult day yesterday that started with a night of no sleep due to anxiety and pain in my neck. I felt so heavy and burdened, I could hardly breathe. I had several errands to run including a grocery store trip. I got in my car and blasted my favorite music. I sang out loud. I cried, I cried the words of the songs. I prayed for Gods peace that surpasses all understanding...I walked into my last stop, Publix grocery store, holding back tears. I walked out smiling ear to ear with no pain to speak of, at total peace. It can’t be explained or understood except that God answers prayers. This morning I woke from a blissful nights sleep still at peace. Thank you Jesus 🙏🏻🕊💗
