Life is never truly easy. There is always some sort drama going on. School gets tough and there never seems to be enough time for all of the things. It can all be overwhelming. It can be so easy to forget in these times that God is near. It is hard in all of the craziness of life to make time to stop and talk to God to let Him know what’s going on. It can be hard to remember that God actually cares about what’s going on, and it’s honestly not hard to begin to question, “if God really does care and if He is all knowing, then why is my life so hard right now?” I understand, I’ve been there many times. What prayer and making time for God does in our lives is, allows room for Him to begin to do what He does best; take care of His children. He is a good father who wants to hear what is going on in your life. He does see you in your struggle, but prayer gives God permission to move in our lives; remember He’s a gentlemen who won’t force Himself on you. In Psalms 34, King David writes about how God is near those who are broken hearted, and he hears their cry for help. The beauty of the Psalms is that David often writes from his deepest emotions. In his greatest joys and his extraordinary sorrows. In Psalms 51 David (after one of his, if not his greatest sin) writes from a broken heart about the only thing that matters to him at this point is to be near to the Lord again. David acknowledges that, if all of the religious practices and sacrifices were to truly please God he would’ve done it by now, but what the Lord really wants is for us to come to him in humility and in our brokenness. God wants us to give Him our broken hearts so that He can mend them and bring us near to Him once more. He wants to hear your greatest joys and your extraordinary sorrows. Go ahead and tell Him.
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and rescues them for all their troubles. The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.” Psalms 34:17-18 CSB
“The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.” Psalms 51:17 CSB
