How do you crucify a spirit of confusion? I believe practicing this doctor's suggestions would show significant results in 3 weeks. Practical and not quick with the script, my kind of doctor! Clearing the air in our noisy and often frantic hearts and minds, creating a space to think clearly...a space to hear God clearly takes time and effort. Yes, medication is quicker and easier, but does not rekindle vitality in the human spirit. Jesus meditated for 40 days and didn't take the quick pill, "A person lives not on _________(insert your medication)_______ alone, but by everything God says." Mathew 4:4. God lives within us and speaks to us individually when we are quiet enough to listen. It took me a couple years (more than 3 weeks) after getting serious about meditation to hear the calling of witnessing through Christian Yoga and Meditation. I know now what I am supposed to do. There are certainly other areas of my life that involve a fair amount of fear and confusion. I can only guide my children, not control them and I have to trust other people in the process of God's work in their lives. I start with small meditations (less than 20 minutes) to crucify my inner chaos and hear God reminding me "your ways are not like my ways" Isaiah 55:8. Meditation can be extremely difficult with our thoughts swarming around like bees, but bees do an important job in producing fruit and any new beginning starts small with a seed...even a seed of worry.
"...a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die to make many seeds. But if it never dies, it remains only a single seed." John 12:24.
Try planting your seed of worry in the silence of meditation, letting God heal you with spiritual medication. You may just find a new life hearing what God has to say!
