You know what, Bestie? I don’t have a lot of words this week. It’s been a hard one. We lost a friend, and quite honestly, I’ve been wrestling with God about it.

In that wrestle, He took me back to another really dark moment in my life, one of the hardest I have ever faced. I remember in that season, God used this song to minister to me when nothing else could. And now, in the middle of my grief and questions, He is reminding me of that same song.

So while I am still in this wrestling, I am seeking Him. I am listening to that song on repeat. I am asking Him to draw my heart closer, even in the middle of confusion and disappointment about the events of this week and, honestly, about the state of the world.

Even in these wrestle moments, I know that I need God more than ever. And I am grateful that He is still available to me and to you, even when we wrestle with disappointments.

I want to share this song with you, along with this prayer:

Lord, thank You for being near even when I do not understand. Thank You that I do not have to have it all figured out, and that You are not asking me to. Draw my heart closer to You in the wrestle. Remind me that even when I am brokenhearted, You are present, and You are faithful.

Bestie, we do not have to be pleased with God’s plan every step of the way. We do not have to have all the answers. But we can trust that He is here and that He is available, especially when our hearts feel shattered.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18

Even here. Even now.
