"I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You." -Psalms 38:8-9 (NASB)
Sometimes work, or life in general, can be frustrating. We may run up against times when others seem to be undoing our work. We may feel tired, defeated, or crushed. We may get agitated and angry. When we begin to feel these ways, we can sigh and feel like throwing up our arms and walking away, but should we?
Giving up and walking away may be necessary at times, but it is not really going to solve the problem. When we are defeated, crushed, or agitated, God can hear our sighs. More than sighing, we should call out to God. He already sees our desires spread out in our hearts before Him, but by calling on Him and asking for His guiding wisdom, we can prepare our hearts to listen to His reply. As we listen, we can be comforted and find our relief in His plan for our lives...agitation and all!
When you are sighing in frustration, call on God and listen to His plan!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being by my side. When I am frustrated and feel like walking away, help me to remember to call on You and listen to Your plan for my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
