Dear God, It’s Me Again

Looking back, there are so many times that I’ve found myself saying this exact same phrase, and if I’m honest, it’s usually after I’ve been away from His presence for a while, or when I’ve allowed the things that I’ve been struggling with to take control over my life. When this happens, I start reading my Bible, listening to a sermon or two and playing a little Gospel music. You can’t tell me that I don’t have it under control. All in all, it lasts about a good 3 days before I’m back to sobbing “Dear God, It’s Me Again.” Sound familiar?

If you can really relate, you know that each time feels worse than the last. It feels like you can just never get things right. Almost like you’re just one big disappointment after another. There’s times I can remember vividly crying out to God about correcting my attitude, healing my emotional wounds, creating a clean heart in me, etc., just to turn around and face challenges with the same things that I’ve laid at His feet. See during times like this, the enemy makes you think that God doesn’t hear you. That you are all alone and that no one understands what you’re going through. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

See, the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, and if we’re not careful, we will help him do his job. Feelings of despair, loss of hope and feelings of shame brings isolation and keeps you from those people in your corner that can help bring you out of this dark place. 

Intimacy was created as a safe place for you and me. A place of Intimacy to share, shed, and grow with others so that you’ll never have to do it alone. A place where you can be you, but with accountability and encouragement.

My next “Dear God, Its Me Again” moment is not because I’ve fallen short, but instead for the blessing that being intimate with Him and you will bring. Until next time.

Intimately,

Yaz
