Coming Through a Dry Hard Place

by Guest Author: Patti Young

When God Comes Closest

There are days when life presses in so tightly that it feels difficult to breathe.

Disappointment, loss, and worry can leave a person feeling worn down inside.

Yet those are often the very moments when God comes closest. He does not avoid wounded hearts. He moves toward them with compassion.

The Bible tells us that The LORD stays near to those whose spirits are hurting.

Your pain does not push Him away. It invites His tenderness.

You are not invisible today. You are not abandoned.

The God who formed you is holding your life with deep and faithful love.

Coming Through a Dry Hard Place

I Received these Words in 2020.

For the last three days I have felt the Presence of The LORD continually.

This is after coming through a dry hard place, where I felt I could hardly hear Him for a couple of weeks, which was very hard, because I was so thirsty for His Living Water to feed me.

Today in the car, He gave me more Words and then I sensed a cloud in the car, and I said to The LORD, “Oh my goodness that’s why I hear You so clearly these last few days — it’s Your Presence!

There’s a cloud, I sense it, I see it and I feel it, Your Cloud of Your Presence is settled over me, over us, over your people.”

Most times I feel that there is dense thick darkness in the land so thick and dense you could almost cut it with a knife, and this is where the enemy taunts and teases and with his lies he is continual threatening the mind, trying to extinguish The Light and destroy your Faith, so you can’t continue on and finish the race.

This is the same God of yesterday and today and tomorrow. The same God whose presence was with Israel as he brought them through the desert to the promised land, a cloud by day and a fire by night.

This is the same God Who will lead His People and protect them and cover them… amazing God that He is, and He has never changed and He is forever Faithful!”
