5 Days From Jesus Listens

DAY 4 OF 5

Faithful Savior,

I want to live as close to You as I can—moment by moment, but sometimes I let difficulties distract me from Your Presence with me.

I used to think that my circumstances determined the quality of my life. So I poured my energy into trying to control those situations. I felt happy when things were going well—and sad or upset when things didn’t go my way. I didn’t question this correlation between my circumstances and my feelings, but the Bible tells me that it’s possible to be content in any and every situation.

Help me to put more of my energy into trusting You and enjoying Your Presence. Instead of letting my happiness depend on my circumstances, I long to connect my joy to You and Your precious promises—as You speak to me through Your Word:

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Nothing in all creation can separate you from My Love.

In Your beloved Name, Jesus, Amen.
