Ep. 891 - Right Beside You

MINISTRY MOMENT

It is easy to look around at the world, and feel overwhelmed, lost in the shuffle, and insignificant. There is pain, suffering, and chaos all over the place. I want to encourage you today, if you are feeling lost or adrift and unseen to your Father, whisper to Him, and ask Him to sit with you. He is already there, but invite Him into the "yuck" with you. Read Psalm 46 and take that moment to be still with Him. Look back at your life and remember something you can see that He used for good and growth in your life.

PRAYER POINT

“God, today I am overwhelmed. Thank You for knowing all that is going on around and inside of me, and while I am unsure of Your plan for it all, I am comforted in knowing You are in it with me. Thank You for never leaving or forsaking me. Help me remember that when I am afraid or discouraged. I love You, God.”

GOING DEEPER

Read Psalm 46 and Mark 5:21-43.

WALK IT OUT

When you see someone in the midst of their “yuck,” would you sit with them? You don’t have to fix it or offer any solutions, just sit with them. Pray for them (aloud or silently, whichever you feel is best in the moment). Do not minimize the yuck-level of the situation, just be there with them.

SHARE WITH OTHERS

Tell someone one thing (or more) that God has used in your life that was a “yuck” moment at the time, but God used it to grow you.
