Many of us suffer from disturbing nightmares. I have been one that has not..... until recently.
My dreams have increased over the past few weeks.
Had a really disturbing nightmare this morning which dealt with total rejection. Rejection is one of my biggest fears. In the dream world, as we know, our nightmares can be so vivid and emotionally disturbing.
This nightmare was a doozey. So bad, that I wanted to end it all in my nightmare because the rejection was so very deep and I did not know how to handle it. I actually found myself shaking myself awake as I was so overcome.
Tried as much to think and meditate on the Word in order to really forget the dream. I did not want to remember. But, for some reason I still can recall the details to the tee just a few hours later even.
I know I have been under attack more than normal these days, so that has a lot to do with it I am sure.
But, what I have learned is that Christ is right in the midst of my nightmare and wants to comfort and reassure me that all is okay despite the attacks of the enemy. Nothing gets past Him without His approval. May not understand His reasoning, but I have to trust Him.
"For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;" Psalm 94:14
Forever trust Him sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI also had a very vivid dream this morning that I could not "shake off". I have been asking the Lord what He wants to say to me through it. Thank you for this truth: "Christ is right in the midst of my nightmare" and the understands the feeling of rejection.
ReplyDeleteThe pics made your post even more powerful. First, I felt anguish from the 1st one but I rejoice in the second one knowing how much God loves us and values us. Passing by JBR to let you know you are thought of in prayers despite my busy schedule. God bless and thank you for encouraging me, too.
ReplyDeleteI have been prone to nightmares throughout the course of my life and know how disturbing they can be. Knowing that Jesus is always with us, even when we have nightmares is a consoling thought, isn't it? My guess is that He must have had a few in his life, too, since he was human and suffered just like us. God bless you, JBR:) I'm praying for you.
ReplyDelete"If God be for us who can be against us." You hang in there. You are on the wining side.
ReplyDeleteYou must be close

Don't despair.
Don't despair, sweetie.
Just don't despair.

I too have been through horrible nightmares. Sometimes I have felt God there and sometimes not. However, when I don't feel him - I still know he's there - it is me - not him. sandie
