I get worn out from the battle and it seems like there is one thing after the next. THANK GOD we were given the Holy Spirit to comfort us which He surely does when we are willing to fully surrender and not run to another form of comfort or distraction.
Pruning is part of the christian life and it is uncomfortable but it is necessary.
To prune: to cleanse, to purify - eliminating what is fruitless by purifying.
We must persevere the pruning process in order to produce fruit.
We must have full confidence that God is doing good in us even if it feels horrendous.
WE NEED TO KNOW OUR WHY, we need to know the promises in scripture.
Hebrews 12:17 Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding it's shame.
Stay in the state of surrender and DO NOT stop crying out to the Lord.
Hebrews 5:7 While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God. Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.
