God wants a relationship with you. He wants you to incorporate him in everything. When we forget this, and ignore our relationship with Him, often he will give us hints reminding us to include him.

CS Lewis, amazing Christian author writes, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

When we hear those shouts from God in our pain, we should remember that God wants to have a close relationship with us, and as Paul writes in Philippians, 4:6,7. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Dear Lord, Help us hear your voice, and remember that you are right there ready to be with us in our lives, the joys and the sorrows. And know that when we have a relationship we can experience the amazing peace that you promise. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
