So many times, feelings of fear or desperation or despair blew over my heart and soul. Too many children, too many bills, difficult relationships, an insurmountable workload, unanswered questions, and unanswered prayer often felt like too much for me to bear.
I would feel as though my “labor was in vain,” or that God had forgotten me. Are you like me, sometimes doubting God’s care for you when things go wrong or life proves difficult? It helps to remind myself of ways He has met my needs in the past.
In spite of my feelings, I would timidly offer Him my love gift: “I believe You, even though I can’t see You right now. I want to thank You that darkness is not dark to You, but You are with me, working on these problems, loving me, and taking care of my worries, even though I can’t imagine how. I love You, God. I have faith in Your faithfulness.”
