IT IS OVER
We just moved to my parent’s new house in my hometown many years ago. I remember vividly that morning when a wind I had never experience before started blowing. I was in my bedroom; it was so bad that I had to go to the living room to see if I will feel the same rustles and shakes. I met my Dad at the living room, praying that God should stop the wind..
I joined in silently. As we prayed, it appeared as if it was getting worse. The wind was travelling roughly fast, and making noises, at a point I thought the roof sheets will get blown away, but suddenly it stopped.
Years later I was doing my youth service in Taraba State Nigeria. I was in Church that morning, taking the bible study when the wind started. It did not give us a warning, the congregation couldn’t hear me so we had to change to singing songs of praise. I realized though that it was not as bad as the one I experienced at my home town, yet many lives got blown away with it. A bridge collapsed and many cars including their drivers and few passengers on the bridge died.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
It is possible that you are going through a lot in your life now. It may be relative to the very bad wind that I experienced and it may look like a mild one that can destroy many things. You know things are not going, as they should. The wind is blowing and you cannot make it stop. As you are overcoming one, another is coming. Imagine yourself picking up a vase the wind blew away in your apartment and as you are picking, another one perhaps a picture is falling or set of plates and it goes on.
Yes this may be the case, but declare it, IT IS OVER
Relax, focus and trust God, it will not blow you away. I pray that every situation that the wind is carrying away in your life will SUDDENLY receive calmness, your marriage is revitalized, your health is receiving abundant energy, every dry bones are receiving the breadth of life and great shall your peace be, Amen
Hannah.
