Week 4 | Devotional | Alex

For my devotional this week I went on a prayer walk just me and God. I walked to a nearby park and we had a good conversation (me and God). It was so peaceful and I just had an overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness. As I was talking to God I couldn't help but thank him for all the blessings in my life. After having such a rough week last week, I felt so overjoyed. I feel like I have carried that joy throughout the week, and with it the importance to put God as the number one thing in my life. When I begin to put my identity into other things it all goes downhill, but I felt like this week was so good because I am relying solely on God. As I took my walk it was a nice time to slow down and see how i'm doing with God. I have a tendency to just go go go and be busy, but my prayer walk helped me to stop and just focus on God's goodness. Some of the word I have been with this week was the story of the woman at the well. Thinking about that story, I see how Jesus wasn't afraid to break all the cultural norms. I guess when I think about that its a bit scary but also really encouraging to know that no matter where I go or what part of our culture that I go against Jesus will always support me as long as I am acting in Love. There is nobody that Jesus hasn't called us to love.
