A Winter Prayer

BY PR EVANGELINE CHEONG

In the last few weeks, some old injuries have given me a few nights where MacDonald’s words rang in my head throughout the night: “the sore unrest that tosses still.”

When what is supposed to bring rest to my body, like sitting or even lying down, brings unrest! In those times of unrest, of body and soul, I am thankful for friends who pointed me to draw back to the God who is near and willing to be with me in the dark times.

I do not know where you are personally, it may not be a physical pain or illness, but perhaps today, somewhere in your soul is a sore unrest: from the way things are at home or at work, a struggle with someone you care about, the pressures from school and friends, a wrestling with God about a deep rooted sin. Come near to the God who wants to come near to you.

"Cast all your anxiety on HIM because HE cares for you." 1 PETER 5:7
