Is a great question to ask God whenever you’re experiencing strong, challenging, less-than-pleasant emotions.
When you feel frustrated with your spouse.
When you feel dissatisfied in your career.
When you feel broken-hearted about losing someone dear to you.
When you feel disappointed in your church leaders.
When you feel confused about others’ expectations of you.
When you feel misheard or misunderstood.
When you feel ashamed for not being “good enough.”
When you feel anxious about anything and everything.
When you feel utterly alone.
When you feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
Rather than ignoring the hard emotions. Rather than fighting against them. Rather than devising a plan to fix them. Rather than asking impossible “Whys?” about them…
Maybe just be with them with God.
Sit silent and still in God’s presence. Light a candle. Breathe deeply. Name how you feel. Ask the Lord, “What is your invitation to me at this time?” And wait for him to respond to you in the quiet places of your heart.
