Post Breakthrough

It seems too simple. The two afore blogs indicated my hang-ups. The anger to God – gone. Cynicism about seeming unanswered prayer – dissipated. Confusion about prayer – never will understand all the dynamics. And that is ok.


Where did this freedom originate? It seems too simple. But here was (is) my solution – learned as a child, relearned at 72. (Slow learner!) TRUST AND OBEY. Trust God as He is exposed in Holy Writ and do (obey) what He directs through His Word.

If God seems far away – trust Him.

If prayers aren’t answered as I desire – trust Him.

If speaking fluency doesn’t occur – trust Him.

If Parkinson’s symptoms continue to worsen – trust Him.

Insomnia issue? Much better. Don’t know why.

As I trust Him more deeply and do what He directs in His Word, I’m at peace. Simple, but so effective (and challenging).

The song “Trust and obey” describes it well.

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

More later.
