Walking in God’s Promises

Everyday Crazy Application

​I trust God’s love so I really try to obey what He asks from the Bible.  But wow is Ephesians 5:20 a difficult scripture to follow; “Give thanks FOR all things?!”  Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters. Nevertheless I had an amazing experience when applying this for a very difficult circumstance.  

Visiting a friend two years ago at the Mayo Clinic I had a huge anxiety attack alone in the hallway with hyper-ventilating…the whole works.  Driving home the next day I heard God say; “Thank Me for the attack.”  “What craziness was this?”  I kinda laughed but did it anyway; “Thank You God for the anxiety attack.”  I said it once but as I continued to repeat and thank Him for something so awful I began to sense His great love for me. The more I thanked Him the more I felt enveloped by His love so I also added, “You’re so nice to me.”  I was so overwhelmed by His presence that I had to pull over because I was crying so hard.  His ways are often my “whys?”  But His ways always bring peace…everyday.
