He’s Closer Than You Know
Scripture: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Devotional: One of the age-old questions that many of us ponder silently is “Where are you God when I am hurting?” In other words, Lord, why are you allowing this to happen to me? Now, if you have never thought that, just keep on living. Of course, many times if not most times, God had nothing to do with our mess; it was simply you and I wanting things our way. Thus, we must remember that God is where He has always been and He’s closer than you would know. In fact, if only we would think about the goodness of our God; what He has done and what He will do, and trust Him to know as the Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 8:28 “that all things work for good for those who love the Lord and have been called according to His purpose.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we recognize that in this life, we will have some trouble and we will have some tribulation, but we thank you and praise you for being with us! We cannot thank you enough for demonstrating your love for us even when we don’t always feel your love. Enable us to remember and reflect on You during our times of difficulties and thank You for what we do have in Your Son and our Savior Jesus Christ, who is with us, through the power of the Holy Spirit we pray, Amen and Amen!
Reflection Question: Do you seek God’s presence when you are alone in your pain?
