When Life Gets Hardનમૂનો

Have you ever felt like God was far away from you? That is a lie that we can easily fall for if we aren’t careful. God is so much more than a feeling. Our feelings lie to us all the time. Feelings change quickly and can make us lose sight of the truth. This passage reminds us of the reality of where God is when we are brokenhearted: close. God is close to us when we experience pain, but we miss out on experiencing him because we let the pain of the situation make us forget that he is right beside us. God wants us to call out to him for help. Choose to turn to him instead of blaming him or forgetting about him. What is standing in your way from turning to him? How can you remember that God is close to you in your pain?

Challenge: Today, choose to turn to God during your pain. Don’t allow feelings to trick you into thinking that God isn’t close. Choose to trust God’s word over your feelings.
