I struggle so much sometimes to see God’s bigger plan amidst the daily struggles of being a mom, a wife, a friend, a boss, a teacher, or whatever other hats I’m juggling to wear that day.
Can you relate?
Does your current day or your current circumstance sometimes weigh heavy like a bad mood that you just can’t seem to shake? Does it make you feel trapped or insignificant? Like somehow the overwhelming small moments that make up each day have managed to snuff out your joy and your purpose?
I have been struggling with this feeling A LOT lately my friends, I’m just being honest. It’s so hard to focus, to ground myself in the Lord, and to seek His direction and His guidance amidst the daily storm of challenges and tasks I face each day.
And then I ask myself, “Why?!!” Why is it so hard to seek that which is the most important...the strength and purpose of my Heavenly Father, the daily guidance of the One, the only One, who has set my path and numbered my days.
It’s hard because I’ve made it hard. Somehow I’ve trained myself to deal with every other issue and put out every other fire first before I spend time with MY Father, My Redeemer, the One who has a plan for my life, the One who speaks wisdom and love and encouragement to my soul.
When I feel lost, confused, and discouraged about where my life is leading and how it really matters in the whole scheme of things, I can turn in one direction...towards Jesus. He is the author of my life. He is the author of yours. He has a plan, and yes, it’s a big one, and yes somehow YOUR LIFE matters in a HUGE way towards carrying out this plan.
So if you’re feeling lost and confused about where you fit into everything, or how, or why, let me ask you this:
Today, and every day, are you making the choice to seek God’s will, to trust His guidance, and to find joy in knowing that you are deeply loved, desired, and needed to complete His perfect plan?
You are beautifully and wonderfully made. Believe it, accept it, embrace it, and use it.
