Maybe we receive an unexpected bill and panic because we can’t see any way of paying it. Someone we love is ill, and we are devastated because we cannot fix them. We fall into that same old pit of sin that we’ve climbed out of multiple times and wonder if God can forgive us. And we forget how God has repeatedly provided, healed, and forgiven in the past. In the midst of a current crisis, we forget all He has done before. We forget that God can send water gushing from a rock in the middle of the desert.
When the heat of your circumstances seems to be too much, don’t panic.
When you feel parched and dry, don’t think you’re beyond help. Look around. God may have just set up a lemonade stand in the middle of your hot summer afternoon.
Too often, Lord, I’m tempted to panic. I focus on my circumstances and forget that, with You, nothing is impossible. Thank You for the tender care You show even in the face of my doubt.
