On this Satisfied Saturday, I am grateful that God is always with me, as I was reminded by Courtney Jones Willis in her writing today for the daily devotion, d365:
What is the last thing you faced that was really hard? Perhaps you are in the midst of a difficult time right now. Sometimes it feels like we might always feel sad or disappointed or angry. In those times we might turn to the advice of friends, to our phones, or to unhealthy habits to offer us relief from those feelings.
But, our scriptures remind us that we can always turn to God in those tough times. We can go to God with any of our emotions and trust that God will hear our prayers. While God doesn’t promise to take away the hard things, God does promise to be close to us.
Next time you are sad, what might it look like if you asked God to be with you in your sadness? How might that turn your stress and disappointment into peace?
Remember that God wants us to draw closer when life gets tough, and God promises to be there.
Blessings. And prayers.
