This story is based on Psalm 27:7-10, and it was recent in my timeline. Tuesday March 29, 2011 was a very difficult day for me filled with challenges, struggles with sin, and my favorite: cries out to God. It was a struggle but I got through it. I think it is very awesome that even though I had a terrible day, God was still there for me. I need that amazing truth every day, not just my bad days.
Bad: I felt alone even though I was in a sea of friends.
Good: God was still there for me.
Bad: I stressed and cried over this whole situation.
Good: God heard and answered my prayer.
Bad: I had to go through with Tuesday.
Good: God used it for His Glory, and taught me a lesson with it.
Psalm 27:7-12
“Hear me as I pray, O Lord.Be merciful and answer me!
My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”
Do not turn your back on me.
Do not reject your servant in anger.
You have always been my helper.
Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me,
O God of my salvation!
Even if my father and mother abandon me,
the Lord will hold me close.
Teach me how to live, O Lord.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me.
Do not let me fall into their hands.
For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;
with every breath they threaten me with violence.”
Let’s Pray!
Dear Father,
You have created this day for your Glory, and I am sorry for making it all about me. I know that I will have bad days but Father I know it is to make me strong. Teach me your ways, O LORD. I need You in my life every day. I pray that You will embrace me with one of your hugs to let me know that You are here.
Thank you Father!
In Jesus Name,
Amen!
I love how you incorperated this passage with your day and what God did in your life. Excellent and moving post!
