A few years back, I dreamed that I was handed two knitting needles and tasked with using them to kill something. As a pacifist, I kept avoiding this task in the dream until someone guided me through the process and assisted me in "killing" what needed to be eliminated.
Reflecting on the dream, I was reminded of the challenges I faced back then. After our father's passing, we all grappled with how to assist mum in coping with the loss and overcoming her despair. I realized at that time, I had been given a tool for "eliminating the identity of a victim." Now, whenever mum slips into a victim mindset, believing she can't manage her struggles, I buy her yarn, embroidery, or something else for her hands, offering practical suggestions while praying for her struggle.
Since then, in response to a prayer, I received additional tools for different challenges. These tools assisted me in addressing and overcoming various issues. At the start of a new year, we receive new tools necessary for this year's challenges. Your tools may differ from mine, so I won't disclose what tools I've been given this year.
You can prayerfully request the Holy Spirit to show you what your tools are for this year. It may take some time to discover how to use these tools, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to overcome the challenges of this year. Whatever these tools may be, they will demand your active involvement and effort to learn how to use them effectively to triumph over your struggles in 2025.
Let me pray for you:
Heavenly Father, I ask that you grant the reader of this blog post the grace to recognize the tools you have provided to conquer present and future challenges in 2025. May you communicate with them through your Word, worship, prayer, dreams, and others. May their capacity to hear and comprehend your voice, Holy Spirit, grow. In Jesus' name, I pray.
