London is a city of thrills, shopping, history, pubs, food, and tourists. But it is also a city in desperate need of a Saviour. It is so easy to get caught up in all the tourist attractions and historical beauty and materialism and forget that there is an invisible spiritual battle being fought in every shop, street, and tube station.
Since I have arrived here I have struggled. I can't even say how. It's like this un-named struggle that is in my subconscious and barely even noticeable unless I am actively searching out my thoughts and emotions. I guess I could say that I have felt extremely distant from my feelings and thoughts...I will take the liberty and compare it to London spiritually: a city with a void, a void where people are not connected to THE reality, a need for LIFE and HOPE which can only be found in our awesome God.
All I can say is this: I crave your prayers. Prayers for spiritual insight, protection and for me to feel God's presence strongly. How I desire to step forward in faith, fulfilling my calling to be His chosen, royal and holy child, a woman for His own possession "that [I might] proclaim the excellencies of Him who called [me] out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9
I know there is hope because we serve a God who has overcome the world (John 16:33).
The coming of spring and these flowers are a sign that life is possible.
