Sometimes we Christinas do the very opposite. of what we should do in a well...a situation that is hard. Instead of instantly praying when something comes up, we instead try to fix it ourselves I was guilty of this myself a couple hours ago. I won't go into what actually happened, but it started with an argument with someone. And it could have gone out of control and become much more than an argument.
Instead of immediately calling on God, I wound up in the argument as well as the one that it was directed to. I believe even a quick "Please help me God." I think would have got God's attention. But sometimes we get so frustrated with what is going on in our world, that we forget that our cries to Him goes to directly to His ears, even in the most terrifying moments.
I am not saying that what happened was in a terrifying moment. But at bit scary it was. And it could have gotten worse.
However, there are quite a few people who knows about this situation, and I have no doubt that perhaps some called on the Lord when we needed it because it did not go on very long and this person calmed down. Eventually.
And it was then that I remembered to pray for God's protection.
After that, I texted a friend about an unrelated situation and quoted this scripture to her about her situation:
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
And that was meant for me as well.
But there are times that we also need to just be quiet and know God is with us.
and we are to trust Him in all things. Otherwise, we can do more damage than is needed.
Are you fearful in the things going on in the world today? In your home? Your extended family?
Be Still and Know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
This is what God wants you to do.
