This morning I found myself starting to panic when all of a sudden it hit me that I only have a few hours to complete overwhelming assignments with deadlines including overdue bills that require a miracle TODAY.
However I am determined not to allow this temporary circumstance that I know by now God already has the solution regarding, interrupt the enjoyment of my devotion time, so as I felt oncoming anxiety beginning to rise, I stopped what I was doing to pray this...
Philippians 4:6,7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Just as I was almost finished,
for the first time I experienced what I have only heard and observed others describe as a warm tingling sensation embracing my entire body from head to toe finally ending in several minutes of uncontrollabe trembling and inability to move afterwards. Similar to "intimate moment afterglow" but extremely frightening at the same time, still now experiencing high levels of the effects several hours later with moist trembling hands as I am writing this
The experience was so sexual in nature, I had to pray against lustful thoughts
and immediately became inspired to read the verse following the one I had just read against anxiety
Philipians 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is PURE,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
This was the most excellent purrfect verse to contemplate
Since in my singleness, tempations to lapse back into previous lust addiction is definitely the complete opposite spectrum of "what is pure"
