Come As You Are

You don't have to dress up in your Sunday best every time you want to talk to God. You don't have to be cheerful and smiley. God is with you for the long haul, he want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. God is big and He can take it.

If your heart is breaking, if you are feeling weighed down, don't keep it to yourself. Just take it to Him. You don't even have to have anything written down. Take every single concern to Him. Pray them out loud one by one as they come to your mind. Cry! Yell! God is listening. Get down on your face. Whatever you are feeling, share it with Him. He shares your pain, and He will take them away from you, and replace them with hope. He will hold you close and comfort you. He will give you hope for a brighter future. Don't hold anything back. God is there for you.

I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. For I am overwhelmed. PSALM 142:2-3 NLT
