‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.’ – Psalms 34:18
Life can be challenging and overwhelming, making you feel alone. But remember, these challenges are normal, even though they may sometimes feel like a terrible nightmare. When the tests become too much, the workload seems unbearable, and your parents are constantly pressuring you, it’s essential to turn to God.
You may have heard people say, “Give your problems and burdens to God,” I assure you that it works! In Psalm 34:18, God promises to be there for you when your heart is broken, and you feel down. He wants you to surrender to Him and hand over all your worries and problems. Remember, God isn’t being spiteful or nasty by allowing you to face difficult times. He wants you to draw closer to Him and seek shelter under His loving care.
You may be wondering why God allows you to go through rough seas. He is there to strengthen, shape, and teach you through these experiences. So, load all your worries and suffering onto His shoulders. It’s a challenge but surrender to God and trust He can handle your problems.
Remember: He hears you when you call out to Him. You are not alone.
You Are Not Alone!
Prayer: Thank you, God, for understanding my needs and being there to help me. I surrender my pain and suffering to You, Lord. Will You help me carry my burdens? I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Challenge: Today write down a challenge you are faced with, ask God to help you through it, and as a symbolic act throw it away or burn it. Remind yourself with a reminder on your phone that God is carrying it with you.
