 February 7, 2023 - Spiritually Rooted  "Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in  a city under siege.  In my alarm I said, 'I am cut off from your sight!' Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help."  Psalm 31: 21-22

Sometimes it is hard for me to remember that God is always with me.  Sometimes I feel like I am alone, that I have been abandoned somewhat, and that I need to pull forth as much strength as I can because I have to do it myself.  That isn't true.   The last few lines in the devotion are very powerful and are worth remembering:

"We may feel depressed, scared, frustrated, or angry; we might not be able to see where God is present in our lives; but God is always listening, always watching, always loving us, and always ready to help."

Lord, when my eyes and ears can't see You in the circumstances of my life, when my heart feels lonely and afraid, give me the spiritual confidence that You are always present, even when I can't see or hear You.   Remind me that Your reality can't always be seen with physical senses or experienced at an emotional level.  Keep me spiritually rooted in You, no matter what happens in my external life.  Amen.
