Discouragement

It's 1 am! This post will be finished when I finally finish studying about this topic...I read tonight about an angel being sent to Elijah...Right now, I need an angel to help.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ever just doubt God's goodness? Ever think that God's heart hurts when we question his love?
Such unbelief is sin, but also trouble. When we no longer believe in God's goodness, we no longer trust in his care, and we end up running away.
Jesus loves us enough to confront us when our attitude is wrong.
I've been in constant belief that God doesn't care anymore. But in reality, He does. It's the trust we need of God. God wants us to trust him. Jesus really cares about about our concerns. 1 peter 5:7"Cast all your anxiety on him".
Too often I hold on to doubt and confusion till my questions explode as accusations. God loves us too much to neglect us. He gives us an invitation to draw close to him. Kneel before Jesus at the cross. Does he care? You better believe I know he does. Until we stop doubting God's goodness, we can't experience God's love. He longs to gather us in his arms. The Lord invites us to cast our burdens to him, and our doubts, fears and anxiety.
"I have your ultimate good in mind"...That in itself is encouragement to me.
Spend your morning with a good routine. It's what starts your day, and if you wake up late, and rushing to get things done, then your day will continue that way. I've been getting up early, and spending 10 minutes in prayer, and it's making a difference in my day.

Doubt I qualify as an angel ... but is there anything I can do?
