I had come to a point in my life where I knew there was no way I was going to make it through the trials I was facing without God. It is during the most painful times in life that the Lord is near. He is near the broken hearted. I was defeated, weary, and just plain exhausted. I couldn't do this on my own anymore. I was reminded of the movie "War Room" and I set out to do just what I was told by God. I found a spot in my house and I set it up for prayer, discussion, crying, and just sitting in the presence of the Lord. I had prayers posted all over the walls for my marriage, peace, comfort, my family, and reminders of God's love for me. I fully surrendered every burden that I was bearing at His feet. I would sit in there for hours some days. This went on for months before change started happening, but it did. Prayers were being answered one moment at a time and still are today. As I reflect back on this time I see how God molded me. I never lost faith in Him and what He can do. I had to BE STILL and let Him do the work. I had to step to the side and not try to do it myself, but let Him handle it. I just had to keep Faith that can not be shaken! There are some moments that you don't even know what to pray, but He already knows what you need and the Holy Spirit will intercede for you when you are at a loss for words. I learned during this time my relationship with Him strengthened more than I could ever fathom. I also learned to trust His timing, it doesn't always happen over night, trust Him. I witnessed radical transformation in my husband and in my marriage. He is still working on both of us and our marriage, but God is front and center and there is nothing that He can't do. So even when it seems like your world is caving in, it isn't. God will never leave you nor forsake you. I have seen it, I have lived it and I know it. Lay it at His feet and have Unshakable Faith!
