Gift of God Devotional

Scripture, testimony, and encouragement for mental health.

John Mencer is just one man among many who struggle to walk through a fallen world. Though he is far from perfect and tends to focus on those imperfections, he hopes to bring you with him along this journey to healing and love in Jesus!

“Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.” Job‬ ‭7‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

One of my biggest takeaways from the book of Job is that God does not want us to keep silent. Whether that’s going to fellow believers or going to Him, he wants us to talk about our struggles.  He wants us to complain and to vent our frustration. He wants us to seek Him in the midst of all seasons of our life, the good and the bad, even if it’s just to ask Him why. We are human, and we cannot understand the ways of God. He knows that, and He wants us to come to Him and rely on Him, even when we are upset and angry at Him.

What do you need to vent to God today? What do you need to leave at His feet and let Him take control of?
