Entry 3- Seeking Comfort

I WOKE UP ANGRY TODAY!!

I should have been praying but was attending to things that really didn't concern me.
I had prayed about it, and was trusting God to deal with it but here I was allowing my emotions to do as they pleased.
Who did I think I was in that moment; trying to play God?
How many of you can relate?

Now you need to understand that God knows we aren't robots and He gets that we deal with our emotions on a daily hence sending down the Holy Spirit.
You also need to understand that when we are going through things, the Holy Spirit is there to give us comfort and protect us; only if we let God in.

John 14 shows us that God sent the Holy Spirit to be with us no matter the situation we find ourselves in. It gets hard- trust me, I know.

But it gets even harder for me whenever I think I have taken things into my own hands and not waited on God. Like why am I in such a hurry to heal? Where am I going to, without Gods unfailing love and support?



I'll tell you a really, really short story:

After my recent failed attempt at starting a relationship with a man I thought was supposed to be the LOML, I turned to the bottle for comfort. I could've sought God but I felt I didn't deserve the comfort His love gave to His children. Then my dependency on the bottle grew with each passing day because in the moments I drunk, I felt a certain comfort- but it left as soon as I sobered up.

In my new found re-connection with God, I'm slowly accepting the protection and comfort that the Holy Spirit offers. The comfort I'm talking about comes with accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior. It's a decision you have to make on your own; for yourself and no one else!
Read Acts 9 to understand more on the comfort the Holy Spirit brings once you invite Him.

Prayer for today: 
God in Heaven, we come to you with open hearts
Teach us to seek you during our toughest times
Help us to understand that healing takes time but in you, we receive the comfort of the Holy Spirit that grants us peace of mind to continue to live. 
In Jesus' name have we prayed. Amen. 

Love,
Faith
