Occasionally it seems that we lose our way. It happens to the best of us. The darkness of night descends around us, and we can no longer see clearly. The bright sunlight is obscured and the road, we once easily maneuvered, now seems narrow, winding and hazardous. It is one thing to navigate hills and dangerous curves in broad daylight, but attempting them in the dead of night is another. Without familiar landmarks to guide our way, each bend seems treacherous. Life has a way of blindsiding us. We are frightened when dark, heavy clouds envelop our lives.

Prayer: Lord, Your Word tells us that when we fear (respect) You and are obedient, that we no longer walk in darkness. “Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon His God” (Isaiah 50:10). We trust You with our lives. In You there is light and life.

Where can we go and be safe? I’ve wondered that at times. People fail us. Circumstances come avalanching through our lives, leaving us wounded, beaten and broken. It seems that there is no one that we can count on all the time and in every situation. There is a “Friend” that will never leave us. There is One that can be trusted with our darkest secrets and greatest needs. It is exhausting to constantly defend and protect ourselves and what we have. “Trust in the Lord,” the Psalmist said (Psalm 37:4). When we trust God, we no longer have to struggle and strain to get what we need.

Prayer: Dear Lord, we do trust You. Give us courage to trust You even more. Being vulnerable even before You is not easy. You know that. Thank You for loving us. Thank You for providing for our every need.

How big is God? READ: Isaiah 40:12 from the Holy Bible, New Century Version: “(God) has measured the oceans in the palm of his hand…(God) has used His hand to measure the sky…(God) has used a bowl to measure all the dust of the earth…” If He could hold a tsunami in the palm of His hand, If He could measure a tornado by the distance between His thumb and forefinger, if one of His serving bowls could hold all of the sand on earth, then I’d say God’s Big Enough. Big Enough to pay your bills. Big Enough to heal your sickness. Big Enough to solve any problem in your life! How big is God? Big Enough!

Prayer: God, I thank-you that You are bigger than all my problems. I praise You that You are Big Enough to meet all my needs.
