Father Thank you for the day. We pray that you would give us the sense of your presence while we come into contact with the world today. Help us to respond properly to others actions and especially to our own thoughts. Help us to remember those that are still trapped in their addictions and arenā€™t free yet. We love You and praise you. Amen ! ---

Meditation for the Day Each day is a day of progressā€”steady progress forward, if you make it so. You may not see it, but God does. God does not judge by outward appearance. He judges by the heart. Let Him see in your heart a simple desire always to do His will. Though you may feel that your work has been spoiled or tarnished, God sees it as an offering for Him. When climbing a steep hill, people are often more conscious of the weakness of their stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress. ---

Wanted to share todayā€™s passage I read bcuz I really liked it ans could relate to it! Hebrews 4: 15-16 Speaks about how approachable God is. God has been tempted in every way, yet he did not sin. He understands our earthly troubles. We can confidently go to him with ANY trouble bcuz He knows what we are going through. The world offers us cheap comfort in the form of escapes. Wether that be social media, shopping, exercise, substances, vacations, etc. Not all of these ā€œescapesā€ are necessarily ā€œbadā€, but often times we tend to use these cheap forms of escape to try and fill this void within us or to escape our troubles, our stresses, our pain. They are temporary, and we often need more and more to continue feeling some sense of false comfort. This emptiness is like filling an ocean by the tablespoon. You will constantly need more. BUTā€¦ we donā€™t have to keep clenching out fists trying to find something to comfort us. God wants for us to talk to Him and to give Him our troubles. We can release the weight of trying to fix it all ourselves. We can stop and talk to God BEFORE we act out on something that could be harmful to us or is a temporary ā€œfixā€, asking for guidance and direction in the next right step. God always reveals Himself to us. ---
