When You Need Someone. Let God Hold You Today. (Prayer Podcast 4) #WhispersofRest

By Bonnie Gray • June 27, 2017 • 4 Comments

When you don’t know which way to turn, Jesus whispers — Don’t be afraid. I call you by name. I call you mine. 

When we have to face something hard, but we don’t know how long the journey will take and we want to give up—we ask God, Is there any other way?  

Jesus whispered this same question in Gethsemane one night. The dilemma of turning left or right was as painful as it was unwanted. “Is there any other way?” Jesus asked.

Jesus could have chosen to pray by himself and hide this inner struggle.  Yet on the worst night of his life, Jesus tells us he needed someone to stay. Jesus understands your dilemmas. He will stay.

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are Mine.” Is43:1

Today, I invite you listen to this week’s NEW intimate Whispers of Rest Prayer Podcast #4 with beautiful music and scripture reflection.

Dear Jesus,

You see my friend {firstname} and
you see the intimate ways she needs you.
You hear her hard questions
and you don’t turn away.

You step closer.
You understand the painful place of dilemmas
when she doesn’t know what to do,
when she asks, “Is there any other way?”

Stay with my friend {firstname}.
Reassure her of your love and  complete understanding.

Love her. Heal her.
Take care of her.
Guide her to the other side of her healing.

Strengthen her with your love.
Give her courage to yield to the journey that she’s facing with you,
to say as you did—not what I want. But what you want.

Thank you for all you suffered for my friend {firstname}
so she doesn’t have to suffer alone.
Your presence is healing.  Your presence changes her
brokenness into beauty. Because you are there with her.
She is yours.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    This prayer podcast was just what I needed this morning. As you know, I’ve been working on completing my book for a long time. I set a goal this summer to complete it before I returned to the new school year. I am close but have been having doubts lately. Who am I? Is this any good? I want to use the gifts the Lord has given me and to shine. I think of the song I sang as a kid. “Hide it under a bushel …NO. I’m gonna let it shine.” Thank you for how you’ve put your heart into each one of these videos and podcasts. The one this morning was an answer to prayer as it encouraged me to persevere. Thank you, Bonnie.

    As the last Scripture was read on the podcast, the word ‘honored’ burst out at me. Jesus calls ME honored! I did not know this and will be soaking this word in today. Thank you kindly, Bonnie, for showing this to me.
