day eleven.

Under what circumstances are you most prone to forget who God is and what He’s done for you?

today’s reflection is hard to write about. we don’t want to think about the times we’ve forgotten God. we don’t want to think about the times we have left His side and lived our lives according to our own agenda vs. His will. nobody wants to admit they’ve hurt God. but we do. it’s a reality we have to accept - not necessarily agree with - but it’s something we have to acknowledge and understand that we do.

i’m more prone to forget God and His power in my life when i’m under stress, worried, afraid, or upset. it’s easy to say, “i put my worries in the Lord and do not worry!” but it’s not so easy to actually do. it’s hard to always put all of our biggest concerns in the hands of God, because we don’t know how He is going to act on it; we don’t know His plans for our lives. we have to learn to just accept life and live it out the way He wants us to; according to His plan He made for us before we were even born!

but it’s during these times when i’m panicking and worrying that i forget…
when i needed Jesus most, He was there for me.
when i was worried, Jesus helped me to not worry.
when i was scared, Jesus gave me courage.
when i wanted to cry, Jesus offered His own shoulder!

i’d love to be able to get to a point where i don’t forget God and all the glory He’s done in my life. i’d love to be able to acknowledge God in the good, in the bad, in the happy, and in the sad. got a journey laid out ahead of me, but i’ve got my prayers to help me along the way.
