When you Don’t Feel Like Praying

But I call to God, and the LORD will save me.Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice. Psalm 55:16-17

I have been writing devotions 16 years now but that certainly doesn’t mean I have it all together or have arrived so to speak. I have a hard time looking at social media posts of ‘perfect families’ and often wonder where I failed.

Alas Satan the slimy snake in the grass loves to put stuff on those of us who are trying to serve the Lord. I don’t know that everyone has it all together. My heart is aching and I am sure there has to be another out there in the same boat. You have to fight these feelings and lies of the devil and keep running your race of faith. 

What is going on in your life my friend? Maybe you do have an altogether family with no problems but beware of getting puffed up. Pray for those who have broken marriages, rejection from friends, rejection from family members, a child in prison, a child no longer walking with the Lord, a drug or alcohol addiction in your family, and so much more. God is there and He does love you and me and He is at work. Keep praying! 

PRAYER: Life throws many curve balls and help me stand firm while I wait for your work in the lives of those I have given to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
