S05E057, Pounding Hearts, and Rest, Andy B 2 Minute Video

 It’s no fun when you are in a place of deep sleep and are rudely woken at 3am with your heart pounding: this has become my normality too frequently. And, while I’ve been told by my cardiologist to just ignore palpitations - because I know what atrial fibrillation feels like – and carry on as normal, I can’t.

At 3AM, when my heart starts pounding away badly, all I want to do is go downstairs - as quietly as possible and wait it out. Card games, a cup of tea and a film,  or two, is as much as I can manage.

I can want it ‘not to be’…but it is what it is.

So how, then, did God know to speak to Kind David, many thousands of years ago, who then wrote down the words of his own struggles - which were identical to mine…in 2023, in the lounge in my home?!?

Psalms 55 contains 3 small verses - written for anybody struggling with any kind of heart rhythm issues! Because it speaks of a heart pounding in your chest; of the terror that generates in your mind and how desperately you want to escape to anywhere peaceful just to escape away from what you’re facing.

And that, right there, is exactly how I feel each time I face an episode of heart palpitations – or atrial fibrillation, for that matter.

If I die I know I’m going to heaven and that provides all the peace I will ever need.

But do you know that same peace?

If you do, great!

If you don’t, please reach out to me so I can pray with you

Just a thought…

Andy B
