Devotional Thoughts about Matthew 14:22-33
Do you ever find it hard to trust God in hard situations? Most people, even most Christians, probably do.
Even after having decided to trust God in a difficult circumstance, I often find that my body and emotions still tense up and panic at the stress triggers which I’ve determined to ignore.
In flying it's often been a problem when my mind has registered some signs of turbulence as being more extreme than normal. I've breathed deeply and prayed through my anxiety.
At some point I adopted a “takeoff song,” to run silently through my head at the beginning of each flight to remind myself that I belong to the Lord forever, no matter what happens. It’s become a reassuring habit.
Flying still isn’t my favorite pastime, but thankfully it’s not usually the problem it once was. Yet other things remain that start me worrying. Lord, help me to stay close to You and bring to You the things that fret me.
