Push
I want to offer a word of comfort today for those who are suffering, who've had a loss, who are going through something really difficult. Those who are trying to trust God when what's happening in your life just doesn't make any sense. You know, I often say that trust requires that we have some unanswered questions, but I know that sometimes when you want answers really, really bad and there aren't any, that it is difficult. I want to encourage you not to run from God in your pain but run to Him because He is the God of all comfort. God wants to comfort you right now. He wants you to know that He loves you, that it's not too late for you to begin again. God will heal you. He will heal your wounded soul. He will comfort your emotions. God cares so much about you and His grace is available to you right now to help you. You know, many things that we go through, we cannot possibly handle them on our own. But grace enables us. It gives us the power to do what we need to do.
Pretend
Prayer acknowledges the power of God. When we pray, we are acknowledging that we realize His ability is infinitely greater than our problem. Prayer is an expression of your confidence in His ability to reign and rule over our human affairs.
