Let’s be real: It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of our lives, and unfortunately it is easy to fall out of touch with God. Not only that, but with most people’s schedules brimming over with activities it is ridiculously easy to get stressed and have bad days. We should always take those bad days to God, but let’s face it, we don’t have enough time to sit down and pray or read the Bible.
And here’s where one of the struggles lie as a Christian. It’s not actually that hard to take just a moment to say, “Hey God, I’m having a rough day. Can you lend me some of that awesome strength of yours?” Perhaps the problem is that we’re unsure where to look. Well, look no further!
