“Too Sad to Ask”
📖 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”
—John 16:5 (NKJV)
Have you ever been so overwhelmed by emotion that you stopped thinking clearly?
Maybe something hit hard—grief, disappointment, betrayal—and instead of reaching out to God, you shut down.
That’s what happened with Jesus’ disciples.
He told them He was leaving, and instead of asking, “Where are You going?” they just got sad.
So sad, they missed the bigger picture—what Jesus was really trying to show them.
They were focused on loss.
Jesus was focused on victory.
He wasn’t just leaving—He was going back to the Father to prepare something greater.
The cross wasn’t the end of the story—it was the bridge to everything that mattered.
Don’t let your emotions block your faith.
Ask the hard questions.
Draw near to Jesus—even when your heart hurts.
He’s going somewhere holy.
And He’s taking you with Him.
Think About It:
- When you’re hurt, do you shut down or run to Jesus?
- What question have you avoided asking God because it felt too painful?
Prayer:
Jesus, sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I forget to ask what You’re doing. Help me not to shut down or turn away, but to seek You even when I’m hurting. I know You are good, and I want to follow wherever You lead. Amen.
