b'I see that look in your eyes. You want to talk to Me. You want to tell Me what\\u2019s going on inside your head. Yet, I see that look questioning if I\\u2019ll understand, thinking there\\u2019s no way I can know how you\\u2019re feeling.\\nYou struggle with your identity, who you are and how you fit into the puzzle of life. You struggle with the void of certainty of direction and purpose. You attempt to deal with ever-changing emotions and thoughts you seemingly have no control over, so you keep them locked inside your head.\\nYou struggle, trying to give voice to these thoughts and emotions, but you don\\u2019t understand how to give voice. The words to describe this blanket that rests on your shoulders are foreign, unknown to your intellect. So you silently go through another day and then another, hoping for clarity, and yet you find no answer.\\nCome to me. I AM the Creator of life (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-14). I breathed life into Adam and he \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153became a living being\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Genesis 2:7). I did the same with you. Just as I created Adam, you too are made in my image (Genesis 1:27). I formed you, and I know your thoughts before you even think them (Psalm 139).\\nThat pull you struggle with? It\\u2019s my Spirit drawing you to look nowhere else but Me. Put your trust in Me, and I will lead and guide you all your days. Don\\u2019t look this way and that way for your answers. I have them\\u2014all of them\\u2014so keep your eyes on Me (Hebrews 12:2). \\u2022 Sharon Mowery\\n\\u2022 What things do you struggle to talk to God about? \\n\\u2022 Read Hebrews 4:14-16 and 1 Peter 5:7.
