Erik Gray's journals
#journalgems
written July 17, 2015
Remember how yesterday (in my journal) I wrote about feeling un-forgiven - why would I feel good and forgiven, and then suddenly not feel good about things I've repented of with the Lord? Well, it still bugged me tonight. I searched and tried to read and find something that would answer that question. BUT then I prayed. I asked, "Heavenly Father, why would I feel bad about a past situation I've taken care of with thee?"
And the thought came to me that I am tired. I have tended to be a lot harder on myself when I'm tired, especially Saturdays, the end of the week. The thought that I'm just so exhausted and the conversation with a good friend brought up old feelings and because I am tired, I couldn't shake it. Sounds like the most interesting explanation of it. But the immediate change from uneasiness to peace - GREAT PEACE - as quick as the snap of a finger... I knew that without a doubt, this answer was from God. How grateful I am that He listens and answers. I love prayer and that I am connected to Heavenly Father. I think that it deals with fear...why am I so afraid of the person I was and the mistakes I made? The past is just that, the past.
