Nourishment for Your Spirit and Soul: May 22, 2025

Today’s passage reminds us to rest in the Lord and wait patiently on the Him. It goes on to say not to fret because of them that prospereth in his way because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. This was an on-time passage for me. We have been out of the black mold infested trailer for several weeks now. I still have a lingering cough/ breathing issues and April is breathing better but still not good. I lost so much stuff due to mold and found I could no longer use my dehumidifier either. It was disheartening. I cried out to God, it’s not fair. He is prospering from the huge increase we pay for this house and has not even tried to make right all that I have lost. But God. He brought me to today’s passage.

I am to rest in my Father. It’s okay if I can only do a little at a time and need to sit and rest. However, while I rest I am not to fret over the wicked and evil things I have endured. Those are in my Father’s hands. I’m also not to feel bad or guilted when I know my body needs to just rest. The Lord will help me. It will all get done, it’s not a race. I can rest without being made to feel guilty for it.

I wanted you to know it is okay to rest. When you have done what you can, rest in the Lord. Allow Him to renew your strength. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to your heart. Crank that worship music up and just bask in the presence of your Father’s love. There will always be something that needs to be done. God knows this and He will strengthen you as you go. However, that rest is needful. As for those that have caused pain, hurt you, caused your finances to run in the red, or any other reason, place them in God’s hands and I promise you He will handle it. Give yourself the grace you give others and spend time resting in the presence of the Lord. It is needful and that makes it okay. 🦅 ~ Prophetess Michelle, #f8ithgal
