When we go to the doctor, and sends us for tests and blood works, it rattles our spirit. If there were nothing wrong, the doctor would send us home saying, "nothing to worry about, see me in six months." Our mind quickly plays tricks on us, and we would imagine all the worst scenario anyone could ever imagine.
Suddenly the dominance of our situation was snatched away from our hands! We feel lost and scared! The water seems fathomless, and panic is about to take hold. Words of assurance don't seem to reach that little private corner of your heart. The 'What If' game immediately started and you were quickly absorbed, and the spinning roulette went faster and faster! Then all of a sudden, you drew in a big breath and cried, "Lord help me!"
This setting reminded me of Peter when he cried, "Lord, save me." Matthew 14:30. I love the next verse 31.."And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" In whatever situation we find ourselves in, we should immediately ask God for help.
In 1 Peter 5:7, we were admonished to cast all our cares upon him. Because why? He cares. In Isaiah 41:10, God said not to fear nor be dismayed. Because why? He is our God. And that, He also promised to give help and give us strength. I love the last part... He also promised to hold us up, support us, maintain us and to keep us.
Whatever is the matter, run to Him whose promise never fails.
