A
reminder for today
Do
not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. Come quickly to
help me, O Lord my saviour. (Psalm 38:21-22)
Yesterday I wrote to you about burdens that we carry with
us that create distance between ourselves and God. Today I want to ask you if
you feel abandoned and if you feel that the Lord is standing at a distance. Does
your current situation cause you to think that the Lord has abandoned you and
that He is distant?
I guess there comes a time when we all feel that lonely
feeling. That lost and abandoned feeling where we struggle with our current
problems and they just don’t seem to go away. We stare at these huge issues and
we have no idea how we will ever get past them. It can be a relationship
problem or maybe financial problems. Maybe it is work related? Maybe you are in
a new job with very high expectations or maybe your current position where you work
is causing those sleepless nights?
Sometimes it seems as if we keep asking for help and it
seems as if we are just losing the fight more and more. We are tired of trying
and it feels as if it will never change.
Can you imagine Jesus praying before His arrest and crucifixion,
the emotions and stress that He must have felt in His human form? I can just
imagine…
My dear friend, He knows exactly how you feel and He
knows that now more than ever you need Him. So He is not at a distance and to
look for Him in the distance is wrong, because He is right there next to you
holding you up so that you can stand and get past this section in your journey.
Hold on, because the next part is where you must actually be. He will not let
you face your problems alone and He is already working on your release, do not
lose your faith and trust in Him. The enemy knows your struggles just as well
as you do and they will now more than ever try and break you.
You will find Him on your knees and He will free you.
Greater things are yet to come.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
