Have I Been Forsaken?

Scripture: Matthew 27: [46] About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”–which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Observation: Sometimes I feel forsaken, lost and all alone. I pray each morning but my mind wanders and I’m not sure why I’m still here. I ask to hear from my Father, but each day goes by and I’m not sure what to do. My mind is so busy God would have to yell that I could hear. I feel so out of place here and hope to hear what He wants me to do before coming home.

Application: God’s word tells me that He will never forsake me. I need to look at the past where God’s hand has pulled me out of so many trials. I need to learn to trust and be patient and wait on the Lord, as His word tells me to do. I need to find more quiet time and really listen to hear His voice.

Prayer: Dear Father please speak to me that I might hear and understand your will for your servant’s life. Give me peace and understanding and guide me through this life.
