Trace God's Presence Laurie Polich Short

Sometimes you need to look back and see God in your past to help you trust Him for your future.

Today on the 4:13, author and speaker Laurie Polich Short explains how what feels like a detour may actually be divine direction. Whether you’ve experienced closed doors, long seasons of waiting, or deep disappointment, you’ll be reminded that God is present in every part of your story.

When You Feel Alone and Need Comfort

Do you need comfort from God? Is there somebody in your life who needs comfort?

I sure did.

Last fall, I was crumbling on the inside. I didn’t feel strong at all. I traveled every weekend, and in between, I flew to Florida to be with my dad who was very sick. One Sunday morning, Phil and I headed to the airport, for probably the ninth week in a row. I had flown home the night before from Virginia super late and I was tired on Sunday morning. But, I tried to think of one good thing to focus on because I was so discouraged and felt so empty, alone and weak. “Heroes coffee!” I decided I would get a cup when I got to the airport.
