"Every tear, every bit of anxiety that you have, our Heavenly Father desires to hold it, to have it, to keep it."- Wesleyne

Word of The Day

Job 7:11: “I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”- Wesleyne

Wesleyne addresses the importance of acknowledging and expressing our pain, regardless of its nature or size.

She emphasizes that it's okay to grieve and feel anguish over personal losses, be they the end of a relationship, turmoil in a marriage, or issues with children.

Wesleyne encourages listeners not to minimize their pain by comparing it to others' struggles but to turn to God with their deepest sorrows.

She reminds us that God desires to hear our complaints and burdens, offering to carry them for us.

By speaking out and not staying silent, we allow God to heal and support us through our difficulties.

The key message is that it’s essential to bring our pain and grief to God, no matter how big or small it may seem in comparison to others' experiences.

God wants us to express our anguish and not hide it away.

By openly sharing our struggles with Him, we allow Him to provide comfort and healing.

Wesleyne underscores that God is always ready to listen and help, urging listeners to release their hidden pains and trust God to carry their burdens.

Wesleyne (:

when we feel that pain, that anguish, that bitterness inside of us, because we've experienced some kind of loss, some kind of grief, and maybe it's a breakup, a friendship that you've had for decades that is no longer there.

Maybe it's a marriage that is going through deep turmoil. Or could it be that your children are just being disobedient and they aren't taking heed to your counsel?

Whatever the sorrow, whatever the grief, whatever the pain that you feel, it's okay to feel pain. Don't minimize your pain. Don't say, well, she had a miscarriage or she lost her spouse. And so my breakup isn't that important. So I'm just gonna bury it and I'm gonna show up for her because she needs it.

while I am still in pain. Yes, we show up for our friends and for our loved ones that have experienced grief or sorrow or pain, but that doesn't mean that we don't get to grieve our losses. That doesn't mean that we don't get to turn to our Father who wants to heal our pain, to our Father who says, am here.

I am walking with you. In Job 7 verses 11 it says, I will not keep silent. I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. This is what he is crying out to God. He is not keeping silent. You do not have to keep silent. For God, he wants to hear.

Wesleyne (:

the pain, the anguish, the bitterness that you have. He wants to hear it. He wants to carry it for you. Don't minimize what you're going through as you compare it to what others are going through. Every tear, every bit of anxiety that you have, our Heavenly Father desires to hold it, to have it, to keep it.

He loves you so much that he does not want you to stay silent. So today I ask what is the thing that you've been keeping silent about? The thing that you haven't written in your journal, you haven't prayed about, you haven't taken to God or anyone else. What is that thing? That is the thing that our heavenly father wants you

to give to him today. Don't hold on to your anguish or your bitterness. Give it all to
