Today has been the most refreshing day I have had in 2+ months. After going to the gym at 5:30, I came back home and sat in my sweet husbands office and read to him until he had to leave for work. I continued reading to my youngest man child, who I thought was asleep on the couch, but apparently was listening the entire time. The book that I am reading is by Joseph Prince and is titled “Unmerited Favor”. I had recently finished Pastor Princes’ book “Destined to Reign”, which is the most in-depth, amazing, and understandable to the normal guy, explanation of God’s Grace that I have ever read and I highly recommend it (amazon.com! Tell ‘em Tonya sent ya!)!
As I sat down at my desk to begin my day, a verse popped into my mind that I have heard my entire life, but never totally understood until that moment: Philippians 4:6: 6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. At the same time God put that scripture in my head, it dawned on me that my chest hurting this week after my “episodes” was actually anxiety and had I stopped and prayed, giving all my issues over to him, and at the same time thanking Him, maybe I wouldn’t have felt like I had a potted plant sitting on my chest! It also dawned on me that, just as I had worked on my physical body at the gym, I had also begun the process to “detox” my emotional life as well. My AHA moment of the day!
