Daddy's Got Me!

Another level means more healing. More healing means more lies coming to the surface to be dealt with. A hard road to travel some days. I am perpetually reminded though, as each lie is revealed to me, about the prayer I prayed last summer. From the depths of my soul came a very dangerous prayer. I simply prayed for the Lord to debunk (tear down or show something to be false) every lie that I have ever believed about myself and about Him. He has been faithful and gracious enough to answer that prayer ever since the words came from my heart and lips.

This week has been a rather rough one, in the spiritual sense, as God continues to expose more lies and walk me through places of my heart that still need His healing touch. Yesterday and the day before were particularly painful days. During my quiet time with the Lord yesterday, I came upon this Scripture in The Message paraphrase that so captured my state at the time.

I'm caught in a maze and can't find my way out, blinded by tears of pain and frustration. I call to you God, all day I call. I wring my hands, I plead for help.~Ps 88:9 The Message
 
As always, God hears my pleas for help and allowed me to meet with my prayer partner, my friend that lays out the truth and encourages my heart and spirit. While I cried through most of my time with her, I walked away with some revelations. One of those revelations was that while I was in a seemingly familiar place, I was and am NEW in that place. The feelings of the present don't undermine all of the healing that God has done in my life to this point. The victories of the Lord can never be negated! And then she reminded me that even in the midst of this season, I have had victories. I have not reverted back to old ways or patterns and THAT IS HUGE!
 
As my day continued, I received an email from a friend that included a sound clip from Finding Nemo the "find a happy place" line. As I smiled, I continued to click on the other sound clips from the movie and I came across another line that God used to speak volumes to me! The line was:
 
"It's OK, daddy's here. Daddy's got you!"
 
WOW! WOW! WOW! It was my Heavenly Papa was speaking in that moment directly to my heart!
HE'S GOT ME! He's got you! I am still in the season, still in the rough part of the journey, BUT He said it's OK, He's here and He's got me!
 
Here's the sound clip link if you want to hear it for yourself!
