25 Jul Jesus Calling #16
Right when I read this excerpt from the Jesus Calling
Trust Me in times of confusion – when things don’t make sense and nothing you do seems to help. This type of trust delights Me, because I know it is real. Invite Me to enter into your struggles – to be ever so close to you. Though other people may not really understand what you’re going through, I understand perfectly. Find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in your struggles. I am with you, watching over you (Genesis 28:15) continually.
Long-term trials can drain you of energy and hope, making it hard for you to keep trusting Me. But I have given you a wonderful Helper (John 15:26), the Holy Spirit, who never runs out of strength. You can ask for His help, praying: “I trust You, Jesus; help me, Holy Spirit.” Instead of trying to resolve all your problems, simply rest in My Presence. Trust that there is a way forward, even though you can’t yet see it. I am providing a good way for you, though it is bumpy at times. When the road is rough, cling all the more tightly to Me. As your soul clings to Me, my right hand upholds you (Psalm 63:8).

Posted at 15:17h, 25 JulyThis is great! When the road is rough, cling more tightly to me. I am so bad about this. This is usually when I question God more. I need to stop. I need to look to Him. Thanks Caroline. Definitely needed this. 🙂

Posted at 09:36h, 27 JulyI love this! I’ve been eyeing the Jesus Calling devotional, is it really, really, really good? Based upon this post, it looks good. I like a good devotional to provoke thought and provide inspiration. I have the children’s one for my daughter, we do it daily for her homeschooling.
Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a blessed day.

This is my favorite: Though other people may not really understand what you’re going through, I understand perfectly. Find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in your struggles. I am with you, watching over you continually. Wow, how blessed we are to have a God who understands us perfectly and even still, in our struggles, He never leaves our side! Thank you for sharing Caroline!
