What relying on faith teaches us.....

For those of you out there who have lived through some major events in your life, this will make sense to you. For those of you who haven't experienced big disappointments yet, take notes! When a major crisis hits you like a freight train, one of the first things we might do is cry out to God in despair. We feel like the world has stopped spinning at least in our universe. We might even feel frozen not knowing what action to take. I think it is important to share our problems with others. Sometimes talking with someone you trust can calm you down. They can affirm how you are feeling and make sense of what is happening. That is all well and good. I think God helps us by putting those people in our lives. BUT there are days when talking does not help! Those are the days when you say to God only you and you alone can help me make it through this day! Help me Lord feel your peace, calm and assurance. Help me to not be afraid because you are all-powerful and all-mighty. If you can give up those major life problems to Him, He will help you become stronger and not be afraid. Trust in God!
