Maybe you feel that everything around you is crashing down and you find yourself calling out to God for help.
But maybe you’re not sure that God hears you, because you don’t feel that He loves you.
Knowing that God loves us comes by faith; feeling His love for us comes by relationship.
God created us in His image to have emotions, so the longing to feel loved and safe is legitimate and good.
One way that many of us sense we’re loved is when someone talks with us and listens to us. It comes when we feel that we have made a connection.
God provides our needs in the relationship we have with Him. He speaks through His Word to our heart and He wants us to pour out our heart to Him about everything, even our longing to feel His love.
Prayer is so simple. It’s like quietly opening a door and slipping into the very presence of God. There is the stillness to listen to His voice, perhaps to petition or only to listen. It matters not, just to be there in His Presence, is prayer.
Besides allowing us to have a personal relationship with Him, He daily gives us our breath, clothing, food, and shelter. Like the psalmist, we can find Him to be our “rock” and “refuge” as we trust Him.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
“Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8
“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.” Psalm 62:2,7
