“look — we’re facing some pretty big things, Lord,
And You whisper: “Child, look — look at Me.
Now You’re facing the Best thing, who dwarfs all the other things.”
And we exhale.. and we get it, God, because that is the thing:
Prayer isn’t so much to remind our God of what all the problems are —
but to remind all the problems of who our God is.
And You cup us close tonight and tell us: No matter what you’re facing, look into My face — and know it, feel it: Your God is greater than what you’re trying to face, your God is bigger than what you’re trying to escape, your God is better than anything you’re trying to chase.
And our problems fade in the light of Your gentle face, Your tender embrace….” (Ann Voskamp).
That’s it. “Prayer isn’t so much to remind our God of what all the problems are– but to remind all the problems of who our God is.”
That sentence. For the win.
I got my health insurance premiums for 2016. Apparently, they’re going up over $150 a month. That’s a whole lot of moolah.
But no matter how big my insurance premium gets, God is bigger.
No matter how overwhelmed I’ve felt over the pressing issues facing me, God has been and will always be able.
That’s not a news flash, but it’s a good reminder out there to all the weary and heavy-laden hearts tonight who need to hear it one more time. It’s a great comfort to all those who feel like they’re less than adequate to meet all that life has thrown their way this past week.
No matter what, God will be enough.
Let that be your mantra for the days to come. Let it resound in your heart and mind when the lies come and try to drag you down into defeat.
No matter what, God will be enough.
