Have you ever waken up in the middle of the night or in the wee hours of the morning with a big lump inside your heart? I mean this lump is so big that you have to breathe hard...long and hard in order for you to catch your breath. Have you? I have...
This morning, at 4AM, I woke up with that big lump in my heart. I placed my right hand on my chest to try to feel my heart beat. I thought for sure I would feel it pounding and racing but I was wrong. I could not feel the beat at all. No, I couldn't. I tried hard...pressed my hand harder and closer to into my chest... still no heart beat. Am I dead? NO, I am still alive. And yet, I feel no heartbeat....
Breathe...I had to breathe deep... I now know what this is... I have experienced this before...and I am sure I will experience it many more times in the future. It's called "anxiety"....
"...and when my heart is overwhelmed
lead me to the Rock that is higher than I...
...that is higher than I...." - Psalm
