Gospel Reflections #587: When the relationship gets stuck

Psalm 32:8 “I will awaken thee and teach thee the way thou shalt go. I will pour out my eyes upon you and give you counsel."

God gives us awareness and shows us the way we should go. He is also the God who always pours out his eyes on us and shows us the guidance we need.

But we don't always feel these things.

The psalmist writes that David groaned in pain and became weary when he did not confess his sins.

Conversely, when he confessed his sins to the Lord, the psalmist says that the Lord forgave David's sins, and the Lord became David's hiding place, sparing him from trouble and surrounding him with deliverance.

Faith is a cycle of our relationship with God.

If the circulation of that relationship is stagnant or blocked, it will be difficult for God's grace to reach our hearts.

When we are made aware of a blockage or stagnation in our faith, we should confess it to God and ask Him to clean it up.

All we have to do is ask God to bring it to our attention, report it to Him, and ask Him to clean it up.

When we get back into a smooth cycle, we can be sure to receive God's reminders and notice what He is directing us to do.

The best part is that we know that God is always with us!
