Beautiful expressed- I can relate on a visceral level. You captured something seemingly ‘uncapturable’ with a knowing we can all know through surrender and humility
I had a period of time when I experienced the feeling you are describing. That sick feeling in the stomach that goes to bed with you, wakes up with you, and accompanies you through the day. I had that for about 6 months. I could only speak about it with a very few people. Finally, two things made all the difference for me. I started taking 5 grams of Escitalopram (generic for Lexapro). I’m not sure how that worked, but it did. The feeling of dread lifted, even though the circumstance remained. The pit in my stomach was gone. I couldn’t believe it. It was then that I was able to return to brief prayer and Bible reading. It wasn’t so overwhelming as it had been. Then I told Jesus that I had no idea how things would turn out, but that I trust Him completely. Trusting Jesus whether or not I feel like it makes a difference. It does to this day. The dreaded situation worked itself out in time. The dreaded outcome never came. But in the in between time, I could begin to live life again.
I remember when I went through this season of life, I didn’t want advice, prayers, or any comforting words from others. So my words above may or may not resonate with you. But you can know that I feel what you are saying and I’ll pray for God’s Arms around you and upholding you.
