[ Faith Stack ] God is everywhere.
God shows up wherever you are, and in everything.
God isn’t a person. You can’t confine God into human definitions, we’re nobody compared to the Creator.
I see that more and more every day as I try to learn more about the Bible and the lessons God’s asking me to learn through my pain and my struggles. I’m one of millions who just lives with body pain as a regular part of life, and I’m fortunate that mine has been manageable within the last year even if it is getting worse. My heart hurts for people with much worse chronic pain, it’s unsettling and makes your mind focus ONLY on your struggle. Life becomes about surviving every day and avoiding the pain as much as possible.
This song “Nobody” is a celebration of God’s Glory in even the smallest things.
We don’t have to have all the answers, we don’t have to have any answers at all when we’re willing to put down our pride, guilt, and shame and just surrender to God’s Love. I love listening to this song as a reminder that I can be weak where God is strong. I can be lost where God has direction, I can be broken where God puts everything back together.
It’s always there, ready to be given to you if you’re willing to say “God, I give up, I can’t do this on my own. I’m nobody compared to Your power. Come and make me a whole new person in Your love for me. Amen”
If you’re really struggling and feel like no one cares, I promise you that God cares. And so do I.
God hears you, no matter what you’re dealing with. That’s it. That’s the point. God is always listening and always open to you and will never leave you no matter what you think you’ve done to distance yourself from God’s Love. You can’t. Psalm 139 states that no matter where you think you’re going, God is already there.
Let’s read it real quick:
“If I go up to the Heavens, You are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.”
Psalm 139:8
Trust me when I say I’ve done some pretty awful things in my life (For example, grand theft auto and stealing and selling drugs to name a few) and I am constantly reminded in every Bible verse I read that God already knew me before I knew myself. There are countless verses reminding God’s people that, no matter WHAT they do, redemption in God’s Grace is always a possibility for peace.
I’m so grateful for God’s Grace in spite of my cloudy mind and thunderous heart. I fought for years until my 40’s (if I’m honest) thinking that I already knew what the right answers were, that I had the right kind of life, that I was locked in to Heaven, that I already ‘did it’.
I was so wrong. God shows up when you submit to His Grace for you, it’s that simple. You don’t have to ‘do’ anything but open your heart and just say “God, I am here.”
If you don’t know how to do that or feel like you can’t do it alone, PLEASE leave a comment on this post or message me directly or go to my website and leave an ANONYMOUS prayer request and I’ll be honored to pray for you.

God bless your journey.
No matter what you’re dealing with, I just want to conclude this post with a heartfelt THANK YOU for taking the time to read through what I’m dealing with. I may not personally know you but I can say that I love you through God who strengthens me. May you be blessed in your journey and find strength for your Soul.
God bless you,
Love,
