Letters To The Father

Over the last few weeks the Lord has really been blessing me in ways that I would never thought possible.

I have been keeping a personal journal for over twenty-five years now. In the last couple of weeks I have added to it a prayer journal called “Letters To The Father.”

I have begun each morning letting the first words I write, be to my Father. Writing my prayers, my thoughts. How I feel, the questions I have!

I let Him know that I am upset, angry or don’t understand. I let it all out and give it all to Him.

And you know what? It has been a great release, a blessing, as I open myself to my Father. It has brought a release to my spirit and healing as I just wrote Him, gave it all to Him. It was between Him and I. In the writing I sense His presence, a release of burdens I could not bear.

He desires our communication, our fellowship, in prayer, in writing, because it opens our heart to Him so He can do the work that is needed to heal wounds!

In writing it makes me focus more. To not be in a rush but allow my heart and spirit to be open and pliable to the Holy Spirit.

During these times, I am learning to hear that still, quiet voice of the Lord. It produces a quietness within and meaning to that verse “be still and know that I am God.”

In the stillness, a calmness is brought, that is beyond words. That peace that passes all understanding.

An assurance. A knowing that my Father hears me, hears you and delights in our time together with Him! These letters, these words are to Him. It allows us to express the pains, the hurts, the anger as well as the joys. The rest and peace that comes from this time with Him, is priceless.

Our Father really looks forward to the times that we spend with Him. It delights and brings joy to His heart.

We are getting to know Him intimately. In prayer, in writing in my case, it brings a difference to the day as I focus on Him, with that doves eye, that single eye that stays focused on Him.

Take time to start your day in prayer or write in your journal. Talk to Him or write Him and as you keep pursuing Him, you will see change in yourself, in your relationship with your Father!

Till Later,
Paul
