Praying with a friend last night during some anxious moments, I saw a wonderful picture.
She prayed about anxious thoughts not blooming in my mind. Which prompted a picture of pulling out weeds from my mind; doubt, insecurity, discouragement, etc... I just named all that came to mind. As I was pulling them out I was placing them at the feet of Jesus, standing nearby. He then bundled them up and threw them off a cliff into the water below.
Then I felt a pulling in my heart and asked what he was pulling out and Jesus said "trust issues". This seemed like a big one. He worked slowly and gently tugging and pulling until at last I didn't feel it any more and he handed it to me to throw over the cliff.
Then we were sitting in the weeded part together. It was a peaceful and contented time. I know the weeds will return, Many of them had already gone to seed but for now they have been cast as far as the east is from the west.
Until it's time for another weeding session.
