God is with you in the chaos

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?” My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?” Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalms 42:1-11

Even in your darkest moment the Lord is your Shepherd. He will guide you through storms and valleys that seem too unbearable. He will walk you through the fire and won’t let you get burned. When you are afraid, He will be the light that shines in the darkness to make you feel safe.

God will be your rest in the midst of the chaos. He will be your gentle reminder that everything will be okay. Nothing is out of His control. Every broken part of your life is in His hands.

He is compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in love. He cares for you so deeply. He yearns for you to be close to Him. He adores your presence. Your love is a sweet fragrance to Him.

The Holy Spirit your Comforter, like a teddy bear and your favorite soft cozy blanket to make you feel warm and safe in His loving arms. You never have to worry when you are with Him. He will make your day so much brighter with His radiant glory and joy. Trust in Him today to be your friend, in whom you can call on when the chaos begins to make you feel weak. Remember, you are never alone.

I pray that this love note encourages you. If you felt loved by Abba today, share this with someone that may need these words today.
