This devotional is for you. God sees you; I see you, and you are not alone. Life will NOT always be like this. The weights and exhaustion you feel are real, however, the day ahead that they will be lifted is real too.
We are all complex people and it can feel like no one will ever understand how you feel, that even amongst your family and friends you’re alone. It can seem like you can’t talk to anyone because you don’t want them to know how you really feel inside, you don’t think anyone could understand or they may think less of you.
That is a LIE, Jesus understands you and is with you. People care about you and want good things for you. There is always hope even in the darkest of times. You are not alone.
The Bible is full of verses that express these feelings that we have. These feelings you are having are not bad, not to be ashamed of and do not make you weak. These feelings have been a part of our human experience since the beginning of time.
Psalm 69:3 says, “I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.”
Psalm 31:9-10, “Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. For my life is spent with sorrow. And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away.”
