So I messed it up already. I didn’t write a post yesterday. Life got busy, and I didn’t get around to it. My busy schedule got in my way, and honestly, I feel pretty frustrated about it.
So this post is for yesterday. I’ll write today’s later.
So here’s the theme for this post: Sometimes we really have great plans for something (e.g. this blog), we mean well and we wholeheartedly want to do what God wants, but life gets hectic and crazy and it just doesn’t happen. We feel like we let God down, like we failed, or like we’re just not worthy of God’s grace. Sometimes our lives get so crazy that we’re just totally overwhelmed and we don’t feel like we can handle it any more. This can happen to anyone in a variety of situations, but regardless of how it happens, we just feel so powerless and frustrated sometimes that it seems like there’s nothing we can do.
With midterms coming up, I’m guessing that some of you are feeling the stress and getting a bit overwhelmed by life like me, so for all of you and for me as well I want to say…OUR GOD IS A LOVING AND MERCIFUL GOD!!
It’s easy to be hard on ourselves, but Jesus is always there to pick us up and help us out, and we have to remember that. When the world gets to hard to handle on our own, God is there.
I first heard this song in eighth grade, and it has gotten me through many stressful or hectic times over the years.
If you’ve heard the song before great, if not go ahead and listen to it. I think it has a really beautiful message about how God loves us so much that He lovingly takes our broken pieces and puts them back together.
So here’s the prayer I’m praying tonight:
Thank you God for being so unconditionally loving.
Thank you for loving each of us exactly how we are,
despite our shortcomings and our failures.
Thank you for always being there for us all,
even though we don’t always make time for you.
Thank you, God, for being the only truly steadfast thing in our lives,
and thank you for sending your Son to die for us,
so that we can continually be forgiven by your amazing grace.
Amen.
