Look for the Lord

Simon and those who were with Jesus pursued him
and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” Mark 1:36-37

When I feel restless, when I feel my life is a drudgery, when I feel lonely and sad, that’s when I intentionally go looking for the Lord. I ask him to be with me, heal me, show me how to be of service in this moment.

Today I will remember I am always in the presence of God who is good and gracious and wise, who heals my brokenness and gives me hope.
