Encourage yourself

Sometimes in life we are going through things and tend to look to our friends and family to encourage us through.  Well that isn't always going to happen and for the ones who aren't always acting helpless and needy when you do fall on hard times it's a time to let God shine in your life and circumstance.  This is possible by digging deep into His Word and seeing how He speaks about what you are going through.  In all they ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths Proverbs 3:6.  God is an amazing Father and wants to be just that in our lives so learn to climb into His lap and tell Him all the things that are going on in your life.  Even though He is all knowing He still likes for us to be not just scheduling Him in but looking forward to the time we spend in His presence in prayer and just hanging out with God.  For a long time I was hung up on the fact that God wants to hang out with you I always thought He was so sovereign and Holy that we had to pray and be in certain postures in order for Him to even take us serious.  Not so, God will meet you where you are no matter the posture.  In all your postures you must reverence the Lord and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth John 4:24.  Sometimes we are required to get into that secret place and stay there until we walk away changed for Gods good.  It is in that secret place that you must learn not just to stay there but to dwell in the shadow of the Almighty psalms 91:1.
