FAITH OR SINK

Matthew 14:30-31

New King James Version

But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

MEDITATION:

Trust in the Lord and the pursuit of peaceful thoughts are habits worth practicing. Hope the suggestions below encourage you. Hang in there, caregiver!

-Praise and thank the Lord. Ask Him for help with your fears and troubles.

-Have faith! Remind yourself often, the Lord is helping you, so don’t allow upsetting thoughts to creep back into your mind.

-Keep reminding yourself the Lord will guide you every day and give you His perfect answer at the right time.

-As needed, pray for the Holy Spirit’s help with thinking hopeful, positive thoughts.

-Write your favorite Bible verses on cards, and think on them throughout the day. An example:

Jeremiah 29:11 New Living Translation

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

PRAYER

Jesus, thank you for always reaching out to me and pulling me out of sad, dark places. May I take Your hand by trusting You for everything I need today and in the future. I praise You for Your eternal goodness and never-ending love and care for me. Amen.

TAKE AWAY

I will be grateful to the Lord for small or large blessings He has given me.

Thank you for your post. I'm new to this site and was so happy to read this encouragement. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers a few months ago and is denial about it. We are in the process of selling our house to move closer to his adult children and brother but he has now decided he is not moving and blames me for making him unhappy. I am clinging to God and He is so faithful! I struggle with my weaknesses, fears, and doubts but find continued strength and comfort in His word. Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my daily reminders that He is in control of my life regardless of what my circumstances may look like. Thank you for sharing.
