He Understands

God already knows how we feel and what we think, but actually going to Him with our thoughts and feelings, opens the lines of communication with Him, not just having thoughts about Him.  God created us in His image and He has feelings too.  He grieves when we are afraid to open up to Him and tell him what is on our minds.  He made us specifically to communicate with Him.  It's like being a parent and seeing your child suffer in silence.  You completely understand what he is going through, because you've been there, done that.  Of course you approach him, telling him you understand and ask what's wrong, but until your child willingly opens up to you, the lines of communication are stifled.  It hurts us deeply to feel like our children don't not trust us enough to just come to us. 

This is how God feels. 

1 Peter 5:6,7 says:

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand,

that He may lift you up in due time. 

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for YOU.

All He asks is that we not be afraid to humble ourselves, or reluctant, to pour out our hearts, that He already knows, to Him. 

He understands and will lift us up :)

Have a very blessed day, knowing you are loved,
