Hope-filled Sunday!
Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.
This past week has been extremely challenging and stressful for me. There have been some situations I’ve encountered that have just about broken my heart. It’s my nature to want to fix things, particularly when it involves those I care about. Sadly, the circumstances have been things totally beyond my control. Thankfully, there has been one thing I’ve been able to do: grab on to God.
Oftentimes when we’re anxious, frustrated, depressed, or a whole host of other emotions, we look for comfort. Something to ground us, to pick us up, give us hope, or just be there to let us know we’re not alone. And when things are beyond our control, as is often the case with chronic pain and illness, it can be difficult to find those things in something or someone here on earth. Thankfully, we have a heavenly Father who's always available. Share on X
I know that during the past few days (well, actually, weeks and months), I’ve clung to Him more times than I can count! He offers us so many things, if we just allow Him to be there for us, including: strength, patience, wisdom, hope, comfort, and love. He is patient and loving … the perfect Father.
So what is stopping you from grabbing on to God today? Ask Him to show you what’s holding you back from trusting in Him.
Lord, thank You for always being there, our ever-present help, and hope, in times of need. Amen.
Have a blessed day. Gentle hugs to all of you. ?
