The cure for anxiety
Is having confidence in God’s agency
Instead of mine

Inspired by Courage to Conquer

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

  • Walking in peace
  • With Jesus
  • By following His lead

Yahweh Approach Memo

I am… old.

Walking with a cane
I limp through a battlefield
I had fought for
And won
Many years before

I look to My Father.

His face is somber
As befits the context
But His voice
Carries a note
Of amusement
As He says:

“Son of man…”

“Can these old bones live again?”

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

  • Aghast
  • Anxious
  • Confused
  • Curious

Scripture

“Many years had passed since Yahweh had given Israel rest from all their enemies, and Joshua was very old.”‭‭

Joshua‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT‬‬

    I do not understand how everyone is sleeping on your posts. I find them to be quite deep, reflective and beautiful. Bravo

      One of my mentors is Gordon Dalbey, a pioneer of the men’s movement and inner healing that almost nobody knows about. He had that same conversation with God, who said: “I am protecting you.”

      I believe God has kept me obscure because I wasn’t healthy enough to handle the spiritual warfare and pressure that comes with visibility. In all honesty, I often take comfort in my obscurity when sharing a particularly vulnerable piece.

      But the time is coming — and may already be here! — when that is about to change. And you get credit for calling it 🙂

      Thank you.
