Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Has your world been turned upside down recently? Have you had something happen to you that you just don’t understand?
Does it feel like your heart has been ripped out and you’re about to die?
I don’t like clichés. I think they are way overused and even abused. I think people get tired of hearing them too. So I’m not going to sit here and tell you that everything happens for a reason.
God’s word never says that. God never says that we won’t go through tough times. He never promised us that.
But what He did promise is that when those trials and hard times do come, He will help us through them. He will be the rock on which we stand. He will be that strong fortress where we take refuge when we’re in trouble.
Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
So go to Him. Cry out to Him. Tell Him how much you hurt, how broken your heart is right now. You can even tell Him if you’re angry. He can handle it!
And then do your best to lay it all at His feet and leave it there. Let Him give you comfort and rest.
You are loved very, very much.
