When I started going back to work, I immediately started to drift away from God. Maybe it's just simply that I don't have the time I used to, and the time I do have now feels more rushed. I relate to God best in calmness, not in snippets of time here or there, or a longer space of time when I'm exhausted. Anyway, all along I've been concerned that I would lose the intimacy I've attained when things got busy, and I sense that already happening. Last night I was trying to pray, but it just wasn't feeling right. I couldn't get calm and quiet in His presence. Suddenly my heart cried out, "God, I'm so scared I'm going to leave you." I had this picture in my head of myself clinging to the face of a cliff, trying desperately to hang on as I'm slipping downwards. This doesn't normally happen to me, but I heard an audible voice answer my cry. The voice said, "I got you."
Do you know how comforting to know that no matter what I do, God won't let me go?
