Vision Onto Canvas

Last week I was feeling very overwhelmed and stressed.  I was dealing with the stress of school, paying for college textbooks, and other things. I was just in a funk for almost a week straight.  Well that Sunday I went to church and near the end of service, Pastor called for prayer time, and as I began to pray, God gave me this vision.

It was me and Jesus. I was trying to talk to Him and explain to Him everything I was feeling and going through.  But no words could come out of my mouth.  All I could do was just lay down and cry.  As I cried in His lap, He stroked my hair. Though I didn't hear Him say anything.  It was as if He was speaking to my soul, saying "Everything will be okay my dear child. Everything will be okay..."

And I couldn't get this image out of my mind.  I decided I wanted to try my hardest to convey this powerful image onto a canvas, so I took the challenge and this is what I came up with.  In no way does it give the actual image any justice, but it was the best I can do.

Remember, any time you need to talk to God, and can't find the words, sometimes the best you can do is just cry to Him. The Holy Spirit will intercede for us (Romans 8:26).

Also remember Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
