God's Not Afraid of Your Feelings

Mar 15, 2024Dana Wade

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s Love” (Romans 8:28a)

That’s a comforting thought, isn’t it? I feel like it’s safe to say that the last few months have been hard on a lot of people. They have been hard on me too. I have felt all of the emotions of anxiety, loneliness, the “what am I going to do” or “what is going to happen” questions. Like others, I have spent a lot of time praying to God to “show up” and help. Quite a bold thing to do to ask (and sometimes demand) that our big God to show face. Oops..

But it is natural for us, as humans, to feel this way. And the good news is that God isn’t afraid of these thoughts and emotions. You know what is even better news? God is ALWAYS with us - even when we feel like we are all alone and we have to fight battles ourselves. Take heart in this. You are not alone. I think God just trusts us and the guiding help of His Spirit to make it through life sometimes without a divine revelation from Him. Either way, God is there to pick you up when needed - and that is such a comforting, sweet thought.
