Have you ever felt like God couldn\u2019t possibly understand what you are going through? I know that I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve even said, \u201cBut God, you never went through \u201cthis<\/em>\u201d. \u201cThis<\/em>\u201d is huge and awful. How could you possibly know what this feels like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember saying that to God years ago, when I felt so betrayed by some people. And He said to me, \u201cI, too, have been betrayed. I know exactly what that feels like and it\u2019s hard and devestating. Especially when it\u2019s people you think you can trust and who claim to love you.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember when Nathaniel died and I wanted to scream \u201c..but you never had a son who died<\/em>\u2026\u201d oh wait\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember crying out to Him, in pain and confusion, \u201cGod, I hurt so bad. It hurts to breathe, to move. I feel like I\u2019m dying. When have you ever felt like this?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya, I don\u2019t know that I\u2019m the most reverent when I talk to God but He loves me even when – and maybe especially when – I\u2019m feeling raw and broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a few days later that I came across this verse and it hit me straight to my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane. And He knew. He knew he was about to be betrayed. He knew that He was giving
His life for ones who both did and didn\u2019t believe. He knew the agony that was coming. He knew. He wished he didn\u2019t have to go through it all but was willing to because of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said to His friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 26:38 TPT <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy heart is overwhelmed and crushed with grief. It feels as though I\u2019m dying. Stay here and keep watch with me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knows. He really does know. And because He KNOWS – You can trust that He is with you, staying and keeping watch with you. You are never alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
