Draw Me Closer, Lord

The last few weeks have been a special time of drawing closer to the Lord and seeking His face. As we face problems and difficulties, it's up to us how we decide to handle them. This week dealt a hard blow. So many feelings and hurts... So many questions... I don't pretend to know the answers; but I do know that my God knows our feelings. He feels our hurts. He has the answers to our questions. There are so many people in our world and our church feeling hurts and heartaches, I have been challenged this week. I ask myself, "Have I been acting to my "family" in the way that brings unity and love? Have I lifted each one of my "family" to the Lord as I have been commanded?" I feel that I have not been as faithful in that as I should have. sometimes the Lord allows us to walk a rugged path to simply show us that we can't even walk without holding His hand. I don't know what the next few weeks hold for me; but I intend to walk through them with my hand in Jesus' hand. I pray for healing and peace for my "family" as well as my family. May we not walk forward until each one has firmly placed their hands in His. Draw me into your presence, Jesus.
