Have you grown weary? Are you seeking help? Are you struggling? Do you feel you have nowhere to turn? Does it seem you have no more options? Have you asked the One who can provide you the help you need? Have you listened for His guidance? Have you turned to the Lord?
We all experience weariness at some point during our lives. Troubles will find us. We go through struggles. We may even feel completely helpless with nowhere to turn. It seems as though there is no one who can help. Our family and friends may have abandoned us.
There is One we can always turn to. He will always be there. He will never leave us. He is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Some of us may think that we need someone physically with us to turn to. As true as that may be, by turning to Jesus, we are turning to the One who can provide the physical person we need. By crying out to Him in prayer and trusting Him, we relieve ourselves of the anxiety and fear.
Jesus will provide us with the guidance we need. He will provide someone to meet us in the midst of our struggles. In addition to crying out to Him, we are to listen to Him. His guidance may come from an unexpected source or someone we do not know. He works through many people to provide for His followers. We must remember that He is the Creator as well as the Savior. It is Him that we live and He lives within us.
I pray we all know that we can turn to Jesus in any situation. I pray we lay our burdens at Jesus’ feet. I pray each one of us will listen for His guidance and trust Him to provide for our needs. Turn to Jesus. Lay your burdens at His feet. Listen for His guidance. Trust Him to provide.
Isaiah 50:4
The Lord God has given me
a trained tongue,
that I may know how to sustain
the weary with a word.
Morning by morning he wakens,
wakens my ear
to listen as those who are taught.
