Sovereign Medicine
Originally posted August 7, 2008
When my heart is heavy, sad, confused, and hurting; when my mind just can't seem to rest, prayer is sovereign medicine to my soul. When I was in highschool, my art teacher showed me her prayer journal - just a simple notebook where she would write down her conversations with God. I thought it was the neatest thing and decided to start my own prayer journal. Now five years later I still keep a prayer journal. Some pages are marked with much joy and hope, whereas others have stains of tear drops and scribbly writing. It seems that I am able to focus more and articulate my thoughts better when I write it down. By venting my grief it eases my heart. I find hope and rest in HIM! It is also very interesting to go back and read through some of my prayers from a few years ago... I can see how God has answered prayers, how He has changed my will, how He has taught me and how He has drawn me closer to Himself.
Prayer is the sovereign medicine of the soul.
It is the dispeller of sorrow:
by venting the grief it eases the heart.
--Thomas Watson
