Some decades ago, when sea travel was much more common than air travel, a trans-Atlantic liner was caught in a storm. For two days the wind raged. Passengers were frightened. At last an anxious passenger climbed to where he could see the pilot. Returning to his fellow-passengers, he spread the good news. “We are alright!” he said. “The ship will make port. I have seen the pilot, and he is smiling.”
God directs our life and cares for us. He is always with you and wants
to give you peace, even in the midst of storm.
He said : Don’t hesitate to ask for My help.
“I
will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm—I will come
to you. In just a little while I will be gone from the world, but I will
still be present with you.”—John 14:18–197
Weakness
is not something you are to be afraid of. When you’re tired, when
you’re worn, when you’re feeling under the weather, don’t be ashamed or
afraid to come and ask Me for help. Don’t try to get through, struggling
the whole morning or the whole day—or longer than that—when you can
come to Me and ask Me to help you. It saddens Me to see you become spent
and discouraged because you try so hard to do something yourself when
you don’t have it within you to do it alone, when you need extra help.
Come
to Me whenever you need an extra boost, and I’ll carry you through. You
won’t need to try to carry the burden; I’ll help you carry it. You
won’t need to have to try to think everything through on your own; I’ll
help you do that. The challenge won’t seem as big anymore as we tackle
it together. With Me, you may still have to weather the storm, but at
least you can rest assured that you have a good Pilot and your safety is
guaranteed, even if it is a violent storm. I have promised that I will
never leave you comfortless.
Enjoy!
