Devotion - God Cares About You!

I'm here to talk to you about something noobdy likes - problems! We all have problems of one sort or another. Let's see what the Bible has to say about problems. This is a story about me. I'm 4 years old. I'm not like most little boys. You see, I'm very sick. I've been sick for a long time. I've been to many doctors, but the doctors don't know how to make me better. Mom and dad have tried everything they know to do, but they don't know how to make me better either. I'm scared that I'm always going to be sick. This problem is too big for me to handle all by myself...but I know just what to do...I'm going to pray.

Did you ever have a really big problem like that? -- A problem so big you couldn't figure out what to do about it?. Maybe your problem is different. Maybe you try to make friends, but you can't seem to get along with anybody. So you feel lonely. Or, maybe that's not it at all....Maybe your problem is that your parents fight a lot. You worry about what might happen. Or maybe your family is doing great, but you having trouble at school. You read and study. Your teacher and your mom and dad are helping you, but you're still just not getting it. You're still confused.

We all have problems of one sort or another. You wish the problem would just go away, so you try to forget about it. But it doesn't do any good. The next day when you wake up its still there! It won't go away!

So, you ask other people what you should do. Maybe you ask Mom, and she doesn't know what to do about it. Then, you ask Dad. Maybe he gives you some helpful tips, but it still doesn't solve the problem. So, you ask your friends. They make you laugh, but they can't help you either. So, now what do you do? You don't much energy left. You start to worry. You feel sad and tired. Maybe you even feel mad. You feel like it is hopeless!

But, wait a minute! When you feel like that, you are forgetting something -- you are forgetting how much God cares about you! Remember he is the one who made you! He knows everything about you. And, most of all - He loves you very, very much. And, he wants to help you with everything - the small things and the GREAT BIG things! Even if the problem is too big for you to handle, and too big for mom and Dad to figure out, its never too big for God. God can handle any problem.

He knows you inside and out. He knows how you feel - He knows when you are crying, when you are mad, and when you are happy too. And, he cares about you very much, and he cares about how you feel. He is always there for you. So, any time you need to, just take a few minutes and go to him and pray. Ask him to help you with your problem - no matter how big it is! - He wants to help you, and he will.

Things may not turn out exactly how we want, but we can be sure that God will always do what is best for us in the end. Its hard to understand why we have problems Sometimes God lets us have problems so we will learn to depend on him and trust him more.

See, God loves you so much that he wants to be close to you. He wants to be your best friend. So, talk to God about your problem just like you would talk to a best friend. Everything will turn out all right in the end if you trust in him! God loves you and will take care of you.
