Spend 5 minutes in the Word
“God is great and powerful, so remember that you are not important at all. Wait for him, and at the right time, he will show everybody that he respects you. God loves you, and he is looking after you, so tell him about everything that makes you sad, or angry, or worried, and trust him to look after you properly.” (‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-7‬ ‭PEV‬‬)

Oftentimes we shut ourselves down, keeping feelings, emotions, and troubles locked inside. Have you ever asked someone how they are doing and they gave you the bland response of “I’m good”, however deep down you know they’re not? In the same way that we patiently wait for our friends or family to find comfort in talking to us, God patiently waits for us to talk to Him as well. We might think, because God is all knowing, we don’t have to talk to Him. We need to show Him how much we really trust Him and intentionally invest in having an intimate relationship with Him. We need to not only praise Him at the mountain top but also in our valleys.

Spend 5 minutes in Prayer
Father God, thank You for this message. Thank You for the reminder that even when I don’t see it, You are working. Even when I don’t feel it, You are working. While this trial I’m going through seems impossible, You are already preparing me for breakthrough. Lord, I pray that amongst this whole situation, Your will is being done over mine. While I may think I know what’s good for me, help me to discern and trust in knowing that You have the best in store for me, in Your Holy name I pray, Amen.
