Day 4 Living in the Impossible 5-Day Devotional

Day 4: When God Becomes Your Everything

Reading: Psalm 73:25-26; Philippians 4:11-13

Devotional: "Lord, be my Ativan." In Lucy's darkest hour of pain, she discovered she wanted God more than she wanted Ativan. That honest moment became a turning point: "You be my pain reliever. You be my comfort. You be my strengthener." This isn't about rejecting medicine; it's about recognizing our deepest need. We all have our "Ativan"—that thing we reach for before we reach for God. It might be control, comfort, another person's approval, or escape through entertainment. But when God becomes our first reach, everything changes. He is the one who removes the pain, but will also become present in it. "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." This isn't resignation; it's transformation. Today, identify your "Ativan" and invite God to be what you truly need. He will meet you there.
