LETTING GO OF PAIN IS NOT THAT EASY
Dear Jesus,
Letting go of pain is not that easy.
I want to Lord.
I truly do.
I do not know how to do this.
I try over and over again.
Somehow or other I end up in the same boat.
I hurt Lord.
I hurt.
There does not seem to be anything else for me but pain.
I want to grab your hand.
Yet, you seem so far from Me.
I've asked for your forgiveness over and over.
Yet I still am in pain.
It all feels so hopeless.
It all seems so pointless.
I fall back into the same pit of pain again and again.
I hear you say you are here for me.
Where, Lord?
Where are you right now when I hurt so much?
*****
My dear friend,
I am right here with you.
I am sitting next to you.
If it will help I'll place My arm on your shoulder.
I am as close as I can be.
Are your tears for Me, for others or for yourself?
Sometimes in the midst of pain
it is so easy to forget My Presence.
Sometimes in pain you continue to suffer
because you know nothing else.
Pain becomes a habitual way of life.
It does not have to be that way.
Check your thoughts.
Do they focus on woe is me?
If they do my friend,
you are making things worse than necessary.
Yes, you have significant problems.
Telling yourself that over and over generates more pain.
You are keeping the pain alive.
Just for a few moments say,
"Jesus, I give you my pain."
Say that over and over again in the silence of your heart.
Do not editorialize on those six words.
I already know all there is to know
about the depth of your pain.
Say those six words over and over again one hundred times. Do not let any thought enter your mind.
If necessary, say those six words
over and over again out loud.
Will you do this for Me?
I will wait for you to finish one hundred repetitions.
Okay!
Now I want you to say these next five words
over and over again.
"Jesus, I trust in you."
Remember!
Say this one hundred times internally or externally.
I will wait once again.
Good!
Now I have another sentence
for you to say one hundred times.
"Jesus, You are welcome in my heart."
Say that sentence one hundred times.
Say it slowly.
Drown out any other thoughts.
Leave no room for any negative comments
within your psyche.
Go ahead.
I will wait for you.
Now I have one more sentence
I want you to repeat internally or externally.
"Jesus, I love you"
Let nothing interfere with your completing this task. Remember.
Say this one hundred times.
I'll wait.
Now I have just one word for you to say one hundred times. Ready?
Say,
"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus..."
One hundred times!
Once again, I will wait for you.
Now I want you to say this last sentence one hundred times.
"Jesus, I thank you"
Do not add or subtract one word from each sentence
I've given you.
Do not take any short cuts.
Say each sentence one hundred times
internally or externally.
Say each sentence slowly.
Do not rush.
Concentrate on what you are saying.
I guarantee you that when you finish
you will feel My arm on your shoulder.
You will feel My presence.
Lastly, when you have finished all of these sentences,
be still inside yourself.
Take a pencil and paper.
Write whatever comes to your mind.
Do not censor or change a word.
I wish to speak to you.
Trust Me.
Be silent within.
Let My Most Holy Spirit speak to your heart.
Remember!
Write whatever comes to your mind.
Do not censor.
I am with you, My friend.
I am with you.
Trust Me.
Trust Me.
