APPLICATION
Who do you reach out to when things aren’t going your way? When you are stressed, sad, mad, confused or overwhelmed. Maybe a friend who will listen, a parent, a doctor or a stranger that meet at the store. If you are looking for wisdom or comfort that will meet your need better than you could imagine then draw near to God. Lift your eyes and heart to heaven and speak to the One who made you and loves you.
Jesus says, ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock on His door and He will open it and have a meal with you. God says anyone who seeks me with all of their heart will find me. There’s no better time to seek the Lord than when we are desperate and you can know that He will answer and help you.
In a time of need when the enemy has been allowed to tempt you to sin, or lies and tells you that nobody loves or cares for you, draw near to God. Pray. Read His Word. Worship and praise Him. Recall the names, promises, and power of our God as you submit yourself to Him. He is unchanging and trustworthy, and He promises that He will draw near to you.
