As I have grown as a Christian, the one thing that has been such a blessing to me is my increase in the times I go straight to Him first. So many times in the past, when I wasn't in his word and was far away from him, I would feel such shame. This shame was normal to feel except for when it kept me from taking it straight to him.
My growth has brought me to a beautiful place to where I know that God loves me no matter what. Seeing examples throughout the Bible of his mercy and grace has allowed me to condition my mind and my heart to know that God loves me and knows me. He is my refuge in times of need. He wants me to come to him. He loves me despite myself.
Knowing him and being able to go to him in these times of troubles help to squash a lot of the worry. I do still worry when I am in times of need but so much more less than I would before. After all, he's still working on me.
Lord, thank you for being my refuge. When this world seems upside down and troubles are all around me, I am so grateful that I have you and my constant. Father thank you for your love and protection and for knowing everything about me. -Amen
