John 4:10 OMEN
I was really stressed out and pissed off at around 11:20. I started praying, asking God for help, help to relieve me of the reason I am so mad. I had sandals on and I kicked them off my feat in blind fury (ooh, I'm scary when I'm angry) Well my right sandal hooked on to the hinge of my door and I thought it was amusingly funny. I immediately thought OMEN, and tried to figure out what it meant, but then I said to myself to stop being an idiot. Then my sister came barging into my room asking for the doll I hid from her. I told her it was in the bathroom in the drawers. So she went in through my room and I snapped cause I was still pissed. I shouted at her and told her to go through her own room and she shouted "WHY SHOULD I IF I'M ALREADY HERE?" I didn't care, I just hated when she went through my room to go to the bathroom, her door worked fine, I know because it didn't work fine so I fixed it. But the reason for this post is because my sandal was still on the door hinge even though my sister had opened the door and I had slammed it shut. So I thought again OMEN. So I sat there for like five minutes, re-developing what it could mean. I had nothing until I went to take it off the door hinge. I bended my knees and I looked to the right and there was a picture of Jesus there. I thought of the story of the washing of the feet by Jesus and the story of Mary Magdalene. I went to look it up in my Bible because I have one and I since I was lazy I checked the back of the Bible where it had an index of famous stories and such and the word Overwhelmed and stress caught my eye before I changed the page. I went back to see what passages it was pointing to and it said John 4:1-30, so i took a look. I read down and stopped at verse 10 because it felt significant.
Jesus answered, "You don't know what God wants to give you, and you don't know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would ask me for the water that gives life."
The most important part of the passage that made me feel better was the "what God wants to give you" because it related to what I'm still sort of dealing with. Praying works.
