All Of A Sudden

Countless times in my life, I have been in a desperate place. Looking at the circumstances, there seemed to be no way forward. Fear and anxiety pressed in on all sides. I have felt the bitter pain of a heart out of hope. But why do I allow my situation to limit my faith and cause me to stop believing that God can move on my behalf?

God has proven Himself to me in more ways than I can count. He’s revealed His loving nature and kindness to me. He’s intervened in my life to shift and arrange environments and order my steps so that I can follow Him. Yet, I still have this nagging propensity to rely on what I can observe, and I allow that to dictate how I expect God can operate. I forget that our God does not share in the limitations of what I perceive to be possible.

Who can fill a valley with water when clouds produce no rain? Who can separate sea waters so that I can walk through on dry land? Who can shut the mouth of lions so I might be safe in a dangerous place?

My God can, and my God does! He works miracles when I see misery, brings peace when I see chaos, and offers grace when I don’t deserve it. His steadfast hand sustains me, and He speaks blessings into brokenness. I am thankful that I can depend on a God who is more faithful to me than I could ever be to Him. I rest in the assurance of presence and authority.

Prayer: Father, teach me to trust You. Help my hope stay fixed on what is possible in You, and keep my mind from wandering into the limitations of my own understanding. Will You guide me into supernatural rest? Bring me to a place of stillness in You, where I can hear Your voice and trust Your heart. Give me Your mind for my circumstances and lead me to calm waters where I can taste and see that You are good.

I breathe You in, Holy Spirit, and Your strength comes suddenly, and Your peace fills me completely.

I breathe You in, Holy Spirit, and Your strength comes suddenly, and Your peace fills me completely.

Amen
