What I Really WantSample

Written by Emma, age 20 from Rome, Georgia, USA

Fun fact: When it rains, things get slippery. Who knew?! But did you know it can rain in your life, too? When you are in your darkest, saddest, and hardest moments, things can feel slippery. It’s easier to fall and get hurt in those moments. And it’s in those moments temptation can grow. Chances are when we’re tempted in the moments we’re slipping, we’ll fall down a lot more than we would in the brighter moments.

The difference between real rain and the rain in your life is that God is there to catch you before you fall and get hurt. He loves you and wants to help you. He wants to be there to catch you before you fall. Think about a time when you were slipping—when you were struggling and really needed someone to pick you up.

This week, invite God into those moments when you are struggling. Ask Him to be with you and guide you through your tough times.
