I talked about this last chapter, but lately I've felt really distant from God. I never stopped believing in Him, but I felt like He was really far away, even though I know that's not true.
Lately, I've been really down on myself. This past week hasn't been the greatest.
It's nothing major. I've just been really frustrated and angry with myself and that's led to me asking God, "why?" a lot.
For months now, I've been working really hard to achieve one goal. I've never worked harder in my life and after this week, I feel like all my hard work was for nothing and I'm just watching everything crumble in front of me. What makes things worse is that it's almost being handed to someone who's always had it handed to her.
And I'm just so frustrated.
This afternoon I felt like crap, to put it in words. Until I took a step back and really looked at myself.
And I decided that I shouldn't feel like this anymore.
I found a sermon from kirbyisaboss on YouTube and it is called From Pain to Praise. I watched it.
One of the points that stood out to me is: remember. Remember that this is the same God who saved you. Remember that this is the same God who's given me so many blessings that I can't even count. Remember that this is the same God who's been doing good works for centuries now. Remember that this is the same God that if not, He is still good.
That's what I need to remember.
That no matter the situation, all my hope should be in God. Because He is good.
"When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One if Israel, your Savior..."
- Isaiah 43:2-3
