CALL

My internal alarm clock went off in the middle of the night.  I sat up to look and see what time it was, of course.  I didn’t really even have to check the time I knew what time it would be.  It would be when my daughter gets off work at the emergency room and has to drive 40 minutes to her home.  I always pray what my friend told me to pray, but I still get anxious thinking about her on the highway.  So what do I do, I call.  We talk while she drives on the highway alone.  I’m relieved when I get her text that she is home and inside.

The Lord is like a parent.  His alarm goes off when we are in need.  He calls when we need Him.  He wraps his arms around us as we venture into the world alone. He worries when we go off the beaten path and He will work wonders to merge us back on the highway with Him.  He is relieved when we arrive to our destination. 

When we are in doubt that the Lord will take care of us go to the Bible.  The word of God is powerful.  In 2 Timothy 3:16 Paul writes, “All scripture is God breathed.”  When we feel alone or anxious go to Him with your concern and stand on the promises of God.  The promises He has given us are built on a firm foundation of the rock of Christ.  You will not sink but stand in and on His word forever. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  Our parent, the Lord, has plans for us.  When worried, anxious or full of doubt go to Him.  He is every present for you with His plans for your life. 

Do not worry or be anxious call upon the Lord and he will answer.   Matthew 11:28-29; Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
