Can I be totally transparent here? When my son was sick, I was pushed to my limit most days. I didn't think I could handle one more scream, one more time of my words falling on ears that could not listen, one more SPD-level tantrum. I was at my wits end, felt frustrated and alone. Chaos encircled our home and I thought I was trapped in it. 

Battling sensory processing disorder in your own power is utterly exhausting and completely overwhelming. I wondered what I had done to deserve this sickness over my child and what I needed to do to get rid of it. What was I doing wrong and how could I change so the Lord would act on my behalf? I wondered where my God was and why he wasn't coming to our rescue. I secretly (even from myself) questioned his goodness over my life. It wasn't until later that I realized it, but my trust in God had failed somewhere along the line.

Religion had veiled my vision of the true God of the bible. Thankfully, my eyes were opened when I heard the right teaching of the Word. I was able to see the miracle-working power of the Lord today in the lives of people everywhere! Once I saw it, it was so clear and so obvious. Why can we believe all the supernatural amazingness of the bible ... but then disbelieve that these same miracles, signs and wonders are for us? Now. In this lifetime. For this situation. You. Your child. 

This good God is your father. He wants your heart. And he wants to regain your trust. What you're experiencing is not from God, but from the thief (John 10:10). The bible says we will be persecuted and the enemy works your mindset. If he can derail us early on in our Christianity and get us to believe the ultimate lie of a limited God, a God who may or may not choose to heal, well, then the enemy wins. We still have the victory of heaven, but in this life, on earth, he conquers us and strips the power that the Lord has put inside of us (Ephesians 3:20) to act according to God's word and have life to the abundant now (1 John 4:17; Matthew 6:10). This is the promise for his beloved.

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."                                    2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV 

I am contending for you. But, much, much better than that. Jesus Christ already won the victory. 

Put your eyes on Jesus and when you feel like you're at your wits end...push through to the other side of faith and freedom!
