I start every day with God and reading daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Navigating the Storms of Life.” Lisa M. Samra wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Psalm 43. The key verse is, “Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me.” Psalm 43:3 My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witness.
While navigating life, there are times when life gets so overwhelming. We feel disoriented. Life’s unexpected tragedies can quickly leave us feeling lost and confused. It can be a cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, a job loss, a betrayal by a friend.
During my life, I experienced all the above. There is only one way to get oriented in the right direction. Pray to God as the psalmist did in Psalm 43. When you feel disoriented and lost, God’s faithful guidance through His Spirit and loving presence can comfort you and light your way.
Reflect & Pray:
What disorienting circumstances are you experiencing? How might you ask God to help guide you today?
My Prayer for Us:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You have not left us alone in the challenging and disorienting circumstances of life. Would you please help us to rely on You to guide our steps today?
