I am Shaken, Lord (I miss my dog)

Here’s the gist, human. I miss my dog. I spent the last two years deeply anxious about losing her. I prayed for a circumstance, a manageable outcome, a long runway to losing her, a prolonged exit that would let us down gently into a daily life without her. That didn’t happen.

Truth is, anxiety isolates us from God. That should be an unbearable separation. If I had given my anxiety about losing my wheaten girl to God along the way, and petitioned for his presence, instead of petitioning for an outcome—to give me more time with her, to heal her—I could draw more fully on his presence now.

That is the scope of anxiety across our lives, when it tightens its grip so much so that we are spiritually stalled from preparing for life’s earthly trials.

So I am banging on God’s door, asking God to be my fortress. I petition him to take me in, to fortify my heart in my grieving so I can say “I will never be shaken.”

Join us. E179.

Psalm 62

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1

Truly my soul finds rest in God;

my salvation comes from him.

2

Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
