Maybe you can’t focus.
Maybe you don’t know how or what to even pray about.
You feel like you’ve messed up things too much to even have a conversation with God.
You’re problems seem too small to bother Go with.
You’re problems seem too big and overwhelming to even try to process, let alone pray about.
You don’t know what words to say.
Just going through the motions.
You’re so tired, you fall asleep.
These are all the things I struggle with.
I’ve found myself struggling this week. Of course, I’m listening to my Bible and reading my devotion, but the prayer, for some reason won’t come out. I feel disconnected. I need to just pour it all out right now, but I’m struggling to focus, my mind drifts, and I’m so tired I fall asleep.
Something I discovered a few months ago in a time that I didn’t feel worthy enough to even say the name “Jesus” let alone ask for help, I found that writing my prayer was another way I could connect with Him. I borrowed one of Leighton’s composition notebooks to write my prayer. I could pour out my heart with thankfulness, my pleads, and my request for forgiveness while the tears smeared the ink. Reflecting back on the answered prayers I wrote back in August and September are humbling and a reminder of God’s grace and goodness.
Whatever place you are in right now, don’t let your mind convince you that God doesn’t want to hear from you. However you have to make that happen, make it happen. Don’t lose the connection with the One who is working everything for your good. #thedevildoesntwin <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/thedevildoesntwin?__eep__=6&__tn__=*NK*F>
