You don’t remember where you lost it. You almost can’t remember what it felt like. You search for it everywhere, but it feels like it’s too far gone, will you ever find it?
It wasn’t always like this. You used to be happy. You used to wake up and feel some hope, but now your days are filled with dread. You’re always guarding yourself, just waiting for someone to ruin your day even more.
Your bills are late, your friends no longer call and you feel alone and helpless.
Whenever you go out with your family, you try so desperately to have fun, but no matter what you can’t seem to truly be happy. Instead, you end up getting grumpy. You yell at people who don’t deserve it and you’re becoming bitter. You’re pushing them all away and you can’t stop.
You wonder why God would have ever let your life turn out like this. Why would he plan so much hurt for your life? How will you ever get over this?
But, sweet child, God has a way. He has a plan. He knows what he is doing. Remember the story of Sarah in the bible? She was over 90 years old when she overheard God telling Abraham that she was going to have a baby, and she laughed.
Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’
Genesis 18:13
Could you honestly imagine, what Sarah must have felt when she heard God telling Abraham that she would have a baby? How amazing is our God that he can create happiness, even when we feel like all hope is lost.
Dear God,
Please help me to find my happiness in life. Whatever is your plan, I will follow. Keep my feelings clean and my thoughts humble, Lord. Help me to be the person you want me to be.
Amen.
Psalm 144:15 says;
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
