Over the past few weeks, the Lord has drawn me closer to Him in my prayer life and through finding wisdom in His Word. I am so humbled that the God of the universe wants a relationship with me. I feel like we get so caught up in living our lives that we forget who we're supposed to be living for. We are often so quick to neglect our time with God when life gets busy, but it is during these times when we should draw close to Christ even more.
Being able to call on our Savior anytime we want regardless of our current situation is such a privilege. We often take for granted how much God loves us and just how powerful He is. The same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us, and He died so that we could have a relationship with Him! If that does not set your soul on fire, then I do not know what will.
When we accept Christ's free gift of salvation, we have unlimited access the the Father. He's never too busy, and He is always waiting to hear for us. Many times all I have to do is just be still and rest in His presence. It does not matter what we are facing or what we are feeling; we can give all of our worries and all of our care to Him. No, our lives will not be free from struggles or hardships, but we can find peace in knowing that our God is working all things for our good and that we never go through anything in life alone. Oh, what a Savior!
So, as you go through your week, whisper a short prayer and say "God, I need you." Lean on Him for your strength and your encouragement. Go to Him just as you are, and find peace and joy by resting in His presence.
