Day Four.

Verse:

"But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge." Psalm 94:22 NIV

Is God your refuge?

When bad things happen: do you run to God, or run away from God?

For the longest time, I was on the run from God. I was depressed, suicidal, calling myself an atheist, hating God, cursing God, and making some bad decisions. Once I started being homeschooled and started going to church, I began building a good relationship with God. I had to come clean with God and start living for God. But for the longest time, when bad things would happen to me, I would run away from God.

Now after many years of building a good relationship with God, going to therapy, facing my past, getting on good medicine for my bipolar, and with all Glory to God. I am finally seeking God and running to God despite my circumstances. Because right now I am struggling with pain: physically and mentally. I know I can't do life without God. So I am running to Him.

I don't know what you are going through or what you have been through, but I do know that God wants you to take refuge in Him. He wants to help you and be there for you. He knows life is rough. He doesn't want you running away from Him when things get bad, instead He wants you running to Him.

I know it's easy to run away from God because I have done it so many times. But now that I know what to God is like, I won't ever run away from God again. Because I need Him and I can't do life without Him.

The old saying goes: "God won't give you more than you can handle." I don't believe that. I believe God does give us more than we can handle so we will go running into His arms and take refuge in Him.

You don't have to go through life on your own. You have God who is waiting for you! He's not mad at you because He loves you more than you can ever imagine. He just wants you to come home.

So come home to God! He is waiting for you and can't wait to be there for you!

Prayer:

Dear God,

I am coming home to you. I am tired of running away from you. I just want to be close with you. So please wrap your amazing arms around me and help me. I can't do life without you. I need you God. Please fill me with your love, grace, and forgiveness.

I thank you for all my many blessing, for Your Son, Your love, Your grace, Your forgiveness, and for You Lord.

In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!
