1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
Wow, I haven't written anything in my devotional for a very long time. I feel like I have neglected you guys! I'm sure you missed me! (Or I hope you did :P)
All of a sudden I had a sudden inspiration hit me after all these months of hard work, school, family, and friend issues. God is in control. It just comes to that I guess. These days have been hard. I have so many tests, quizzes, home work, and family struggles, that I feel I could burst. I just think, "Oh, my life is over if I fail this Science test," and "Oh, I'm gonna die if I don't finish this on time." But then I think to myself. Why am I so worried? Why am I worried about such little things that are not stress worthy. Of course, these things matter at the time, but not as much as my relationship with God.
Through all the struggle and hard work, sometimes we forget who is really in charge. We are so busy with our own little lives that we don't give the time to the things and people that matter. For example, me. I have been away for so long worrying about things that can wait and have ignored the things that matter. I forgot how wonderful it was to just sit in a cozy spot and pray. I forgot how nice it was to sit down and just type out my feelings for God.
I now realize that He is in control. Worldly things aren't worth you neglecting God and his plans for you. His Word is a daily nourishment to your souls. It builds up your courage, faith, hope, strength, all the things you lack in the struggles you face. Look up to Him for the guidance and he will walk by your side wherever you go.
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for looking out for me. For being with me even if I haven't been with you most of the time. Worrying about the little things isn't worth it. Your love for me is all I need to sustain me in my life. I love you with all my heart and you deserve much more than a prayer here and there. I promise to devote my time and efforts to you. Walk by my side. Keep me in your arms all my life. I love you.
Amen.
