Devotions for When Life Is HardНамуна

God’s Way Is Perfect

God’s way is perfect. That sounds nice. . but it also sounds a little cliché, especially when we’re in the throes of heartache and despair. If God’s way is perfect, why does it hurt so much? Is God cruel? Doesn’t He care about us? God’s way is flawless, but life has many imperfections and shortcomings. As long as we’re on this earth, we will have trouble. Didn’t He say as much? But when we run to Him in that trouble, He is a Shield. He is a Refuge. He is our safe place. When we run to Him, He will love us, comfort us, and protect us. Life may not be perfect, but God always is.

Prayer: Dear Father, thank You for Your perfect love. Remind me, when life is hard, that I can run to You. Thank You for always being there for me. Amen.
