We all have phases in our life when we feel that things aren’t right: we’ve made wrong choices and this has led to us being in a place where we are unhappy and are unfulfilled. It is so easy to take a wrong turn and believe that life is never going to get better than this. We can also suffer from anxiety, fear, rejection and low self esteem and most of this is purely in our minds. Yes, our actions may have contributed to how we are feeling, but this needn’t be how we spend the rest of our lives.
I remember hearing a story once about a man who was talking to a priest and saying to that priest that he had lost everything, his job, his home and his family. The priest asked him if he still had his faith and when the man said that he did, then the priest said he had everything he needed.
This is all that we need, faith in our God. He will see us through every difficult situation and make sure that we come through it all. We aren’t guaranteed a trouble free life but what we are guaranteed is that he is walking with us in our lives, helping to carry us in troubled times and he will never let us down. We just need to ask for his help and it will be given. It might not be in the way we want it, but he will always give us what we need and he knows what is best for us.
My favourite bible passage that tells us all of this is copied below and I do recommend that you turn to God whenever you do feel low, he is there for you and in following him, you will have a ‘yoke’ that is much less overwhelming where you can rest from your troubles.
Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
God bless you and peace be with you,
