I was in a crappy mood on Friday.
I’m not quite sure how to fully explain why, but I was in a funk. I realized I was snippy with my colleagues and even someone I didn’t work closely with teased and said my energy was off. I laughed it off, but knew that he had hit the nail on the head.
I understand that life and seasons change, but sometimes those seasons and changes are hard to handle. And on that particular day, I wasn’t handling it well.
The cloud cover stayed with me throughout the day, and well into the evening.
As I was walking out of the office, I started talking to God. There was something specific that I had needed that day, and I had not gotten it. As I was walking, I poured my heart out to God, telling Him exactly how I was feeling and why. I have learned that God can handle my honest emotions, even when I’m having a difficult time even articulating what I’m feeling.
No sooner than I got home, I got a call. I knew exactly why, but at the moment, I still wasn’t ready for the honest conversation that I needed. So, I ended the call, explaining that I wasn’t in the best of moods.
I still needed to work out with God how to deal with what I was feeling and ask for guidance on how to proceed. I’m realizing that God cares about even the small details of our lives. He provided guidance, and I was able to move forward.
Is there something that you have been reluctant to tell God? Rest assured, nothing catches God off guard. He can handle your funky moods, your bad energy and what you think you can’t share with anyone else.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for knowing us and our personalities even before we were formed in our mother’s womb, and loving us all the same. Help us to realize that you can handle our honest emotions, and not just handle them, but you welcome us with open arms for us to share with you.
