All Who Are Weary: God Is My Delivererናሙና

God Answers Me

I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles.

-Psalm 34:4-6

The Promise: Seek the LORD, Because He Answers Me.

When we can’t find answers, we have to be ok with existing in mystery—in knowing that we cannot fully know the ways of God and that His ways are not ours. But, His ways are ultimately good, because His heart is good. When you seek the Lord with all your heart, you will find Him. He doesn’t hide to make it difficult or stand at a distance to see what you do. God hears the cries of His child, and He is eager to come close to you in the middle of your exhaustion, confusion, tears, and tantrums. Stand on His strength today, knowing He goes before you in the ways you need.

Try This: Be Thankful

Keep a gratitude list. It can be in a notebook or journal, on a scrap piece of paper, or on your phone. Start with what you are thankful for today and write it out. Think about what you are thankful for this week, and write them down. Think about who you are thankful for. Listing our gratitude gives us a refocus that helps us see where God is in our lives.
