Trust Me
March 29, 2012

When I was a little girl, my aunt and uncle took me to Lake Michigan. While some of my cousins ventured far out into the waves, I played close to shore. Then my Uncle Norm asked me, “Can you swim?” “No,” I admitted. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll take you out there.” “But it’s too deep,” I protested. “Just hang on to me,” he assured me. “Do you trust me?” Then I took his hand and we began to walk farther out into the lake.

When my feet couldn’t touch the bottom anymore, Uncle Norm held me up and reassured me, “I’ve got you. I’ve got you.” Then finally he said, “Okay, let your feet down. You can stand here.” I was afraid because I thought we were still in deep water, but I trusted him and happily discovered that I was standing on a sandbar.

Have you ever been in so much despair that you felt as if you were sinking in deep water? The difficulties of life can be oppressive. God doesn’t promise that we will escape the turbulent seas of life, but He does promise, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5).

We can trust our faithful God to be there in all of our struggles. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you” (Isa. 43:2).

God, give me the faith of a little child! A faith that will look to Thee— That never will falter and never fail, But follow Thee trustingly. —Showerman

Before your burden overcomes you, trust God to put His arms underneath you.

Read: Psalm 121

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. —Isaiah 43:2

Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 22-24

You are in our prayers, Dubya.

I talked to Dubya, Jr last week. Dubya still needs our prayers. He is slowly getting his strength back, though he is not up to posting. It is a slow process; he is home and is aware of our prayers.

Father, please hold Dubya in your healing embrace. We miss him.

[JustAmy]

So sweet, Kitty. Hope you had a restful night.

[JustAmy]

Gail, You are in my prayers. I’m praying for you and your medical team.

Father, please guide Gail’s doctors and show them the answers to her treatment as you ease her pain. Amen

Prayers for your health issues to be resolved as well as possible. I know it’s very frustrating for you and your hubby!

I hate going to doctors. They almost NEVER listen...REALLY listen!

Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire.

Much to their relief she smiled and said, “Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper.”

Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said: “First Question: Which tire was flat?”
