Through Tears

"Why are you so downcast, my soul, why so troubled within me? Hope in God, for I will praise Him again, my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:6

I would be a hypocrite if I wrote to you everyday and told you how great it is to follow God because you'll always be happy. That's not true. The truth is that even when you're close to God, bad days will come. I had a horrible day today and spent most of it on the verge of tears, and the rest of it actually crying. And it wasn't one thing either; things were going bad for me on all sides. But you know why I'm lucky? I'm lucky because no matter how bad things get, I have the Almighty on my side. When you follow God, He takes the things that have hurt you and He turns them into great things for you. I'm not going to get mad at God and ask Him why He's let these things happen to me, but instead, I will hope in Him, I will hold on to Him who is my rock and is my strength! And through these tears, I'll look up to Heaven and praise His Name because I KNOW He loves me and I KNOW great things are coming for me around the corner because that's what happens to those who praise and put their faith in the Lord Almighty!!

Today's Prayer:
My God, You know the pain I feel, but You are so much bigger and Your love for me is so much deeper than anything I could feel. My heart, my life, and all that I am are in Your hands. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
