The Truth & The Light

I took a drive tonight, specifically to speak to God. I have a good friend whose husband is fighting for his life and he’s officially the first person I know to have it this bad and I’m lost in how I feel and what to believe. I’m terrified that I could be next… or Nico. I worry about one of us being left behind with all that it takes both of us to accomplish. It’s an unimaginable feeling and my heart is absolutely broken for my friend.

 

I left the music off in the car and I drove forward, down the street… a lump in my throat and tears welling in my eyes and when I reached the first stop sign I took a deep breath and asked “God, what do I do?” I could sense that He needed more clarification so I let it all out…. “I’m terrified Lord! I don’t know what to believe. The media… the experts… science… my friends… my coworkers…” and He said to me “Do you realize that not once have you asked me for guidance? You’ve allowed all of these other avenues to populate your mind, but never once have you reached out to me for guidance. Look around at all the others who are relying on science and social media and the news and the experts, and what have I always told you? Do not be afraid, for I am the truth, and the light.”

I was stunned. I continued “But what about the vaccine, Father? Is it good for me? Should I take it? I’m afraid… I don’t want to take it, but if my job makes it mandatory I could lose my job…” and I could hear Him telling my heart to do what I believe… not to be afraid for He is with me. He is the truth, and the light. He will provide.

 

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
