Waiting….

I’ve recently found myself living in a holding pattern not because things are stagnant; but rather, because I have decided to wait on The Lord.

Psalm 27:14 KJV Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

I have been seeking a path to follow for the year 2025 and meanwhile GOD keeps saying be still. So, I’ve done just that. I sit still and I wait for divine inspiration to post here. I’ve had a lot more time to address the elephant in the room. Mental health is the elephant the Church is the room. Just like high blood pressure depression really exists. A person can be missing from service not because they are trying to head down a backslidden path. They can really just be frozen, stuck in their bed bound by the very aggressive spirit of depression. The prayers of the righteous avail much.

Don’t always assume the worst when you don’t see your brother or sister in church service. Instead, when you notice they are missing, take note and actively add that person to your prayer list. Call them this week just let them know that you missed them and wanted to check up on them and make sure they are ok. Sometimes a simple thing like a phone call can break a depressive cycle.

Stop by offer to take them out to lunch. A beautiful friend of mine used to stop by and take a long walk with me around my neighborhood. I would get a chance to get some sunshine aka vitamin D as well as a little exercise and some one-on-one time with a dear friend. Eboney was being used by God to save my life, and she didn’t even know it.
