There are some things that have been hard for me since my husband moved to heaven on September 22. Not physically hard, but emotionally hard. Not all the time, yet overwhelming at times. My heart aches and I cry sometimes, but as a few friends have said, it’s not surprising and it is okay. But I do want to share a couple of things the Father has used to help me through this time. I hope they will minister to you as well.
First is a song recently released by Phil Wickham titled, SOS (Don’t Let Me Go). It was written for The Chosen, specifically the scene where Peter was sinking and needed Jesus to rescue him. You can watch it on YouTube using this link. It reminds me that He is holding me, and He won’t let me go.
Next, the words below are from the first song on a cd called, Songs for the Father,” I have had for 20+ years. I no longer have the cd jacket, and I had no success finding it while searching the internet. I am sharing these words with you because the Father is once again using them to minister to my heart.
You invite me to come, lay my head upon your breast, change and become like a little child at rest. Blessed are the children, blessed are the pure in heart, blessed are the children, for they shall see God.
You invite me to come, and lay down my foolish pride, open my heart, let you cleanse me deep inside. Because blessed are the children, blessed are the pure in heart, blessed are the children, for they shall see God.
I want to see your face, I want rest in this love, in this healing embrace. Every touch purifies my soul, so hold on to me, never let me go….
Dear one, no matter what is going on in our lives, we can trust that Jesus, our Savior, He will never let us go.
“For the Lord will never walk away from his cherished ones, nor would he forsake his chosen ones who belong to him.”
Psalms 94:14 TPT
“Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.’”
Isaiah 41:10 TPT
You are in my prayers, Cindy. One of my all time favorite verses that has pulled me through so much in my life is Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” In times of heartache, trouble or stress, I can lean on the One whose salvation I know is with me always. And he will never me or forsake me. And it’s been true my whole life! He has showed up in ways I never imagined. What a joy it is to know Christ as our Savior! Some day, there will be no more tears and mourning. We will all be together with Him forever. I’m homesick for heaven! (Song: Phil Wickham 2025)
