When Kevin prayed over me at B-School this week, his words painted a vision that felt both beautiful and weighty.
Father, thank You for Trixi & thank You for the journey she's given such expression to. I see railway tracks, & I just believe that the Lord is untethering you from things that have held you. You've got such potential & a particular, clear path. I see mountains & I see forests. I see you riding through the open plains, & along the ocean sides. You're a train & the Word of the Lord is that He's the engine & He's got you in there but you're the train & you're carrying many people with you — all along are the carriages.
That’s such a powerful prophetic image — a visual of motion, purpose, and divine companionship. The train in my painting, journeying through mountains, forests, and alongside the water, beautifully mirrors Kevin’s word: the Lord as the Engine — the driving force — while I, as the train, carry many hearts along a path only He could design.
As I reflect on his words, could there still be unresolved areas of wounding or unbelieving parts of my heart keeping me stuck? 🤔
That’s such a holy and honest question. Often, when we sense delay or resistance on the journey, it’s not punishment or failure — it’s invitation. The Lord gently reveals areas that need His healing touch, not to shame us, but to free us for greater movement. Sometimes the “stuckness” isn’t about what’s wrong, but about what’s ready to be redeemed.
The landscape in this painting tells its own story: the mountains represent past obstacles and triumphs, the forest speaks of mystery and growth, the open plains of freedom, and the ocean of depth and vastness. Each terrain carries a story — and sometimes the train slows down not because the Engine isn’t powerful, but because the terrain requires care. Maybe there are tunnels being cleared, tracks being straightened, or carriages being reconnected.
📖 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23–24 (NIV)
When I invite the Holy Spirit to illuminate those “unbelieving” or wounded parts, He never condemns — He heals. The Lord delights in my willingness to look within; it’s evidence that I’m already being untethered from what once held me.
💡 Reflection:
What “carriage” in your life might need reconnection or repair for the journey ahead? 🤔
Where might your heart still be protecting itself from disappointment or loss, instead of trusting God’s timing? 🤔
How is the Lord inviting you to see your waiting not as delay, but as preparation? 🤔
🎺 Affirmation:
I am being untethered from old wounds and false beliefs. The Lord, my Engine, is faithful to carry me forward. My story is not stuck — it is in motion, being written by grace.
🙌 Prayer:
Father, thank You that You are the Engine of my life — the One who knows every mountain, forest, and sea I will cross. Where there are still unhealed places in my heart, meet me with Your kindness. Where unbelief lingers, replace it with faith. Help me trust the pace and direction of Your journey for me. May every carriage I carry — every person, purpose, and promise — move in harmony with Your Spirit.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
