Just Carrying On is Enough

There are times when life feels a bit like being stuck in heavy traffic. There is no obvious way to move forward. At these times we have to keep our trust in God and be satisfied with simply carrying on.

It’s an oddity of human experience that our frame of mind can be totally consuming. When we feel depressed we can be entirely oblivious to what happiness feels like, and vice versa.

It’s helpful to remember that when we feel low there is no solidity to it – God can always bring us out of the clouds in an instant. And why wouldn’t He? God is relentlessly merciful.

Whatever your frame of mind today I want to remind you that God loves us to be mindful of Him, and there’s no better way to interact with Him than saying please, sorry, and thank you.

Finally, don’t underestimate the power of simply expressing your thoughts to another human being. If you don’t have a close friend to share with, don’t despair. God is there for you, always, and He is the best of listeners.
