He comes with Himself

The past few weeks have been emotionally crazy. Heart stuff, processing the past, wondering about the future, nervous for unanswered questions....but I was reminded today of how good God is. He is our portion and our prize. He is our defender and our helper.

At church on Sunday, the pastor said something that touched my heart in a deep way. He said, "Often, God won't come with an answer. But He comes with Himself. The help He brings is the help I need."

Today, as I started to let the hands of worry grab at me, I was reminded that His presence is always with me. That even when things seem overwhelming and painful, they pale in comparison to His sweet presence and love.

"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you." -Psalm 116:7
