God is always there providing a gentle nudge. He is calling, trying to get your attention through that uncomfortable pain in your soul. He whispers an invitation out of the pain towards something deeper and truer. To trust Him.
We all have pain within; it’s part of the human condition. Whether it’s around aging, declining health or fear of dying, or longing for better relationships, romantic, familial or even deeper friendships. It could be the pain from established patterns of behavior that aren’t serving us anymore. These pangs can be indicators to areas in which we need to invite God the healer.
We can choose to stay in pain or we can take a leap of faith and surrender in trust. Each surrender draws us closer to God, instilling greater trust and peace. This can be the journey of our lifetime. The moments of peace sustain me for the journey through the painful ones. And remind me how much I need a Savior.
Lord, I need you, oh I need you.
Thank you, Lord, for drawing me to a deeper trust in You.
