Just be Held

We are a people of touch. We like to shake a hand, give a fist-bump, and even enjoy a welcoming hug every now and then. Unfortunately, this past year has kept physical touch at a distance. No matter what you’re going through today, I just wanted to remind each of you that regardless of our societal physical distancing, Jesus is still right there. He promises to never let go of you. Enjoy His warm embrace as you read the following passages and take some time to listen to a few of the songs that I provided in the links below as well.
Prayer for today, “Lord, Hold on to Me.”
He knows why you need to just be held. Give Him a big squeeze in your own way and hopefully that’ll get your day off to an amazing start.
Practicing His Presence,
Nate
