“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” —The Apostle Paul, Romans 8:29
Do you feel all alone, lonely, empty, or a bit aimless? God cares and has a good plan for your life. You’ve heard that before right? Well, it’s true and He’s closer than most people know. He can guide your life well.
Are you hurting due to some loss? Do you feel hopeless or guilty inside? Are you sinking right now? Do fear and anxiety and worry fill your thoughts? You need to call out to the Lord. If you will call out to Him, He will reach out and rescue you. But you have to ask for His help and call on His name.
Have you gotten all distracted in the city? Man, it’s so easy to do.. When allow.. when we take our eyes off Jesus and allow our minds and hearts to be filled with doubt, fear, and anxiety, we can start to sink.
So when that happens, here’s what we need to do: Cry out to Jesus. That’s what Peter did after he stepped out of the boat and started walking across the water to Jesus. And by the way, there’s nothing wrong with crying out to the Lord.
What is in us that makes us say, “I can fix this. I can get through this. I can control this”?
Actually, we can’t. We need to call out to the Lord.
Some might say that’s a sign of weakness, but I think it’s a sign of intelligence. In fact, I think it’s a sign of stupidity when we think we don’t need God’s help.
The Bible tells us that “immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matthew 14:31 NKJV).
