Sometimes storms rage all around us.
A lot of times, these torrents are external. They're the circumstances of life that we cannot control. But today, a storm rages within me. It's a whirlwind of pent-up feelings that I never seemed to deal with, and now they've been picked up as the damaging debris of this tornado ravaging through my heart.
Jesus, calm this storm.
There's not much you can do about an outward storm. Like I said, those are mostly things that are out of our control. Inward storms are a different story. This is a result of my lack of dealing with the issues at hand. This can be fixed.
How can this be fixed?
I'll go to the source of peace and rest. I will pray and seek and listen for truth from God. Truth that will help me get to the bottom of my brokenness. Truth that will help me realize why I am so mad that my roommate keeps turning the thermostat to 68 degrees. Truth that will show the reason I cried when my best friend moved to San Francisco and didn't text me for four days. Truth that will whisper in my ear why I have been so deeply feeling an absence of love and why I've been searching so desperately for someone - anyone - to fill that void.
I need to visit the well of life, to bring vibrancy to my wellspring of life. I'll search my heart, search God's Word, and listen intently for this life-giving spring of wisdom.
Father, speak to my heart today. Reveal to me the inward longings of my heart. Convict me of my sin and lead me to repentance, that you may honored.
All glory be to God our King. All glory be to You.
Because Oh, How You Love.
