When we cry out against our pain, struggles, or injustices, we often cry first to ourselves. We start by feeling sorry for ourselves. Sometimes this leads us to take our problems to others. Then we pour our worries onto them. When they get bad enough, and it seems there is nowhere else left to go, we finally take our woes to the Lord. This process may be natural enough. But the God who would have us call Him Father, would like us to adjust that process a little. Actually, He would like us to change quite a lot.

The Lord above wants us to feel so close to Him that He is the first one we turn to. He wants us to walk so closely with Him that He is present and involved in all our endeavors. His wish is to bond His Spirit with ours. He wants us to be so close that anything we experience, we go to Him with it. Our mission in this life should be to reach that kind of walk with the Lord. If we can share each moment, each success, and each sorrow with our Savior, then we will be where God wants us to be. It will not matter how dark the storm is or deep the waters are. We will have our Savior right here with us. All will be well.

Dear Lord,

Draw us near, and we will surely pass through every trial we face! Make our walk with You so close and so strong that nothing could ever really hurt us we pray! Amen

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.  Psalm 3:4 (WEB)
