What if, when bad things happened, you ran to God, rather than away from Him?
What if, despite the ugly things in the world today, you sought His presence most of all, and asked Him why to His face?
What if you went to him in prayer and let out all your emotions and pain and even yelled and screamed?
What if, after you let your emotions out, you invited Him in to comfort and heal?
What if you confronted the things that have made you unhappy, instead of running away from them?
When your world is upside down, or never seemed right side up in the first place, you can be real with God.
Bring him your heart, your pain, your anger and your tears.
Take a deep breath, and then take another. Breathe in God’s presence and breathe out the chaos and fear.
You will get through this. God will not leave you here.
