Welcome back to Come Bible with Ana. I am so incredibly glad you clicked play on this episode today. If your heart is feeling a little heavy, or if you are just trying to find the strength to get through the next ten minutes, you are exactly where you need to be. Pull up a chair, grab a warm cup of coffee or tea, and just breathe. You don't have to pretend to be strong here.
Life has a way of completely bringing us to our knees, doesn't it? It can split your life into two halves: the version of your life before a tragedy, and the version after.
A couple of weeks after my brother Carlos passed away, I hit a wall. The initial shock had started to wear off, the visitors had gone home, the phone stopped ringing as much, and the silence in my house was absolutely deafening. My heart felt completely hollow, like a physical weight was sitting right on my chest.
I remember sitting on the edge of my bed, tears blurring my vision so badly I could barely see my hands. I was tired of crying, tired of feeling numb, and honestly, I felt a little lost in the dark. In that moment of absolute brokenness, I didn't have a fancy, theological prayer. I just held my Bible tight against my chest, looked up at the ceiling, and whispered a very simple, desperate prayer:
"God, please speak to me. I need to hear Your voice right now. I can't do this on my own."
I didn't turn to a bookmarked page. I didn't look up an index. I just let my Bible fall open, and my eyes went directly to Psalm 71. I read it once, then I read it again, and by the third time, tears were streaming down my face for a completely different reason. God was in that room. He heard me.
Today, I want to walk through this exact chapter with you, verse by verse, because I believe the same God who met me in my bedroom after losing Carlos wants to meet you in your exact pain right now.
Thank you for your support. I thank you for listening. I just want to say, none of this would be possible without God. So until next time, keep Bibling, keep spreading God's word and let God give you your new rhythm. Open your ears, your hearts and your minds, and put God first and see him work in everything, give God your heart, soul and life. Be disciplined in God and dig deeper in God's word. He loves you and so do I! This is the year of renewal and building your relationship and foundation on God's word.
