For over the past four years... Tony has struggled with some profound challenges and difficulties in his personal life and family. During this time... Tony slowly began to develop a new spiritual discipline of bringing his heart... and his pain... to the Lord. He did this by writing his own Book of Psalms... which now contains... as of this day... 197 psalms. This has been an incredible blessing to Tony... as he's learning to yoke himself together with Jesus... to face the most difficult and overwhelming challenges of life.
The Lord is always there... waiting for us.
If you're a believer in Christ... you're a beloved son or daughter of God.
God cares for you.
God sees you.
God is holding your heart... and your life... in his hands.
God sees your tears.
He is not indifferent toward you... or your situation.
A very important question emerges for each and every person:
What will I do with my pain?
The old Tony learned to take his pain to sex... and to his orgasm... in the attempt to escape the pain... and in the attempt to anesthetize the pain.
The new Tony is learning to take his pain to the Lord.
In this episode Tony shares psalm 42... an psalm 195... from the Psalms of Tony.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-29
