And give me patience, God, to wait for resolution-trusting that you may be doing something good for me in this feeling of space between us. And as I wait for you to meet me in my unbelief and distance, remind me that you never leave me or forsake me. Immanuel, “God with us,” please give me a tangible sense of your presence, and show me how you are close even now although I don’t feel it. God who draws near, come to me in this sense of separation, and help me draw near to you. “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8 So what do you do now? Well, here’s the prayer we pray when we feel so far from God: You threw out a quick prayer, but it bounced off the ceiling like an unanswered phone call. And that spending time with God would feel as real as when a good friend finds out you’re having a hard time and drops everything to meet up with you.īut now you’re having a hard time-a hard time believing God is even real. #prayer #dailyprayer #dailydevotional #verseoftheday #christianliving #reclaimtodayĪ “relationship” with God sounded so good, didn’t it? It made it sound like God would be close, so close. May they remember that all of their labors, both seen and unseen, are held closely by you.

We praise you for the tender hearts and fierce spirits of our mothers, whether by birth or by circumstance. God of Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah, bless those who nurture, who comfort, who protect. “Honor her for all that her hands have done,Īnd let her works bring her praise at the city gate” (Proverbs 31:31). This blessing is not only for our biological mothers, but for all of the women who have walked alongside us to help raise us with affection, confidence, and virtue, whether they were our birth moms, aunts, sisters, grandmothers, or other maternal figures along the way. While we’re asked to honor and appreciate our mothers every day of the year, we want to take a minute to specifically let them know their tireless efforts, selflessness, and steadfast faith have been transformational. We’re jumping on the Mother’s Day celebration a little early, because let’s be real, we all know mothers deserve a whole lot more than a single day 😝.įrom the second we showed up on this planet, small and helpless, the mothers in our lives have helped to form and shape every part of our journey, including our spiritual one.
