Why Am I Troubled?

Scripture Luke 24:38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

Observation: I continue to grow closer to God each day, but why am I still troubled? Is it because of the doubts that arise in my mind? My lack of faith becomes evident at times even though God continues to prove himself faithful. My own sinful nature and the prompting of the enemy stirs doubts in my mind at time and until I give those doubts to God I suffer for a while and are troubled.

Application: I need to stay closer to God so my thoughts don’t go astray and need to meditate on His word. Jesus said this life will have trials and tribulations, but with Him by my side He will get me through them. Each day is designed for me to draw closer to my maker and that is what my goal needs to be for each day.

Prayer My Lord draw me near to You. Help me stay focused on Your plan for my life and not be distracted by the things that are going on around me. May my mind be focused on you and Heaven, my eternal home.
