The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psa. 34:17-18
During this time, a lot of things are hard with jobs, finances, and my husband being gone all the time. I vacillate between trusting and doubting God. I will be confident in Him, sure that He is working everything out for our good, and then some new problem will arise, and my fragile trust crumbles.
After a few days of doubting God and His goodness, I am miserable. I can’t seem to get myself out of this state until I remember that I can ask God for help. I can ask Him to make me want His will, to make me enjoy it. I ask Him to help me love Him and to trust Him. I ask Him to help me want to please Him and to make it my heart’s desire.
Then I will go about my day and, amazingly realize that my attitude has changed. I am feeling content and at peace. Suddenly the thing that was so upsetting to me does not seem to bother me so much any more. I can enjoy God, and I want to please Him again.
Thank You God that we can ask You for whatever we are lacking, and You willingly provide what we need to follow You and to even to enjoy it. Thank You that you are so patient, understanding, and forgiving when we doubt. And thank You that You provide a way for us to be rescued out and at peace again. We are in love with You and in awe of You, Amazing God. You are worthy of all our worship. In Jesus name, Amen.
