PRAYER SONG 

My “ PRAYER SONG ” was born Saturday, October 20th, 2012~ just 3 days after my 43 year old husband began having & continuing to have strong chest pains & severe nausea. Out of great concern for my husband (who kept texting me how very, very sick he was while hunting that Saturday, over an hour away from home), I took my heart’s great concerns of what symptoms seemed to resemble a heart attack, to my DaddyGod, my Abba Father, in PRAYER to reassure my heart with His loving & comforting Presence & Promises. As I went to my DaddyGod’s arms ~ close to my Abba Father’s heart ~ my DaddyGod downloaded my “Prayer Song” into my heart that Saturday night while I was playing the piano.  What a sweet whisper ~ gentle voice of peace ~ that settled my heart & soul with His Love notes of compassionate comfort He sang over my heart that night.

With the chest pains & severe nausea continuing through Sunday morning, my husband, who originally thought he just had a bad case of the stomach flu that was going around, was admitted into the CCU unit in the hospital on Sunday afternoon at which time they confirmed he’d had a heart attack (or several) since Thursday, October 18th ~ (the first night he’d starting having the strong chest pains and nausea).

Early Thursday afternoon before his first chest pains, I’d noticed that my heart was very heavy all day (as if I was emotionally carrying a heavy burden in my heart for someone). That whole week, I had also been feeling an intense spiritual longing, thirst and hunger for “something”, “more” but at that time I just couldn’t place why I was feeling this way & for whom I was interceding & carrying this heavy burden. So, I called my best friend to tell her about everything & she prayed for me.

As it turns out, I also happened to pick up my heart journal & began reading my Monday, October 15th journal entry that I had written earlier during that same week during my Godtime. While spending sweet devotional time with the Lord, I wrote this to Him…”All that I have in YOU is More than enough, all we need is You, blessed are we when we are filled and satisfied in You, we long for You” and “everything I / we have need of ~ every hunger, thirst and longing ~ is fully satisfied in Who You are.“

Being my Abba Father’s child has fully satisfied & filled my heart in every way because He has downloaded the Fullness of Himself  into my heart. (Colossians Chapters 1, 2, 3)  I love His Presence because I am never without His Presence. ~ He is always with me, always for me and He will forever be in my heart! I also believe that everything He is and everything He has is already mine through Jesus which includes all the promises & proVISIONS He has pre-provided through His Finished Work!   So, when I already love feeling so full of His presence ….I just couldn’t understand why it felt like I just couldn’t get enough of His Presence…I wanted more and more!!!   It’s like once you’ve tasted and your heart has experienced & seen the Lord’s goodness, His life & love, you just long for more and more!  It is so beautiful to find that every thirst & hunger is always satisfied because He’s more than enough!

Of course, in the coming days, our hearts would soon understand to a greater degree than ever before how very comforting & deeply meaningful it really is ( especially during times of heartache) to experience the fullness of His filling Presence, the Lord’s ever abiding closeness, & how very comforting it is ~ both during the good times and the not so good times ~ to be able to draw close to our Abba Father’s heart into our DaddyGod’s arms.

Fast-forwarding onto Thursday, Oct. 18th ~not long before I called my best friend, I felt impressed to write in my heart journal what I was experiencing. Not really knowing “why” I was feeling this heavy burden, I simply wrote, “There’s something happening…something…”

Little did I know that later that night (Thursday) would be when my husband would have his first heart attack. By the time my PRAYER SONG was born (on Saturday night) , I realized that the heavy burden I had been carrying in my heart & the very strong feeling of needing to intercede for someone for several days was preparing my heart in advance for the intense PRAYERS that I would be praying for my husband.

I also believe that the intense longing, thirst and hunger I had been experiencing all week long was for my DaddyGod!  My Abba Father knew in advance that His child(ren) were gonna need Him to cradle my / our hearts! It was my DaddyGod that so tenderly held me / us so close in His arms that Saturday night and the days / weeks / months of recovery to follow. While we might have faced moments that the nurses, doctors or meds reached limitations, it was so comforting to know that we were under the 24/7 supervision of our limitless, loving, compassionate DaddyGod!  The MORE we continued to seek & long for Him to satisfy our souls hunger & thirst for His loving, healing Presence ~ the MORE we found and tapped into His limitless supply!!!  The MORE you seek Him ~ the MORE you find Him to be everything and MORE than what you could ever imagine!

That Saturday night, my DaddyGod not only satisfied & comforted my heart in those moments with Himself  but also in the moments / days to come as I / we placed all my husband’s moments in His hands!!  In, fact, as the news came on that Sunday afternoon confirming my husband’s heart attack(s) & the surgery for the 3 stints to be placed in his heart, I thanked my DaddyGod who showed me such great love (in advance) having given me my Godsong, “PRAYER SONG” ~ a prayer in a song that I continued singing over & over during his entire hospital stay.  As I sang the PRAYER SONG, it comforted & reminded me of His faithfulness, compassionate care, everlasting Presence & the HOPE ~the confident expectation of good ~ that I / we always have in Him ~ even through times of heartache, as well as the strong confidence I have in my DaddyGod’s healing power that has been fully provided and is fully ours through the Finished Work of Jesus!

We have truly been overcome and blessed by His love and the Breath of Life & Living Hope He has been for my husband, myself &  our family through it all.  There’s MORE life & MORE love with every breath we breathed in Him !  More than we could ever hope, dream, imagine or ask for!!  He is Emmanuel, God with us, God for us and in us ~ always!

I invite you to experience my GODSONG VIDEO for PRAYER SONG (below) Oh, it’s exactly my heart’s experience & visual of the sweet relationship I have with my DaddyGod ~ through it all ~ HE IS MY FAITHFUL & TRUE !  It’s in HIS LOVING ARMS & HEART that I trusted both my HUSBAND’S HEART & MINE !!!  Oh, the sweet, sweet LOVE of DADDYGOD ~ He will NEVER LET US GO !
