The Lord hears your cry!
Lately I was struggling with my thoughts, they were going in every direction but not in the one I wanted them to go - I'm not sure if anyone can understand what I'm talking about - anyway in my desperation before I went to bed i cried to God that He may help me. Then in dream shortly before I woke up I got a few passages in the Bible that I want to share with you.
"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"
~ Isaiah 41,10
"This is what the Lord says - the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel -to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers:
'Kings will see you and stand up, princes will see and bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.'
This is what the Lord says:
'In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, ˋcome out´, and to those in darkness, ˋBe free!´
~ Isaiah 49,7-8
" ˋYou children hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. Lift up your eyes and look around; all your children gather and come to you. As surly as I live,´declares the Lord, ỳou will wear them as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride.´"
~ Isaiah 49,17-18
"Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,
declares the Lord."
~ Obadiah 4
"You should not wait at the crossroads to cut down the fugitives,
nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble"
~ Obadiah 14
"...And the kingdom will be the Lord's"
~ Obadiah 21b
To me it was a real encouragement, and I hope it is or will be to you too. And I want to encourage you to cry to the Lord when you feel desperate and don't know where to go, what to think or do next. He will hear and hears your cry of desperation and He will give you an answer.
P.s.: a short UPDATE:
- I now finally know where I'm going to stay in Nuremberg
- I've got all my necessities
- feeling pumped to go to bible school
