In times of need what do you turn too? Is it a book, a person, an idol perhaps. For the longest time I didn’t know how to answer that question. I felt like I had no one, nothing that would fulfill the void in my heart. Sure, substances would temporarily satisfy my desire for more, but soon enough I would find myself right back in the same place that I started in. I thought independence meant that I didn’t need anyone, so I was proud of that. Yet extremely empty. The only person I trusted to solve my self-inflicted problems was myself, and that didn’t get me very far. But when I truly met Jesus, it wasn’t instantaneous, but I leaned on him. A subtle progression of encounters with the one seated at the right hand of the throne was there for me. And I can’t fully explain why, but I trusted him. There was an internal knowing that he was sovereign and faithful, even before I knew his word.  Time after time, affliction after affliction he shows up in ways I can’t even comprehend. So whatever you are facing, know that he is God. Know that he loves you. Know that he wants to know you. And don’t worry he’s got you.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
