I know that our lives may feel scrambled right now… And the real problem is that life and todays’ frightening situation isn’t a game.
Sometimes life throws us a curve filled with anxiety, anger, and angst…leaving us lost and fearful of what is to be. It is as if our entire state of security has been placed in upheaval. Even our imagination can go wild when it isn’t grounded in trust.
This is the time when we wish we didn’t have the insight, the knowledge, the awareness to see potential negative changes. It would be so much easier to look at our situation through the eyes of a child who knows all will be made well, the situation will be fixed—by someone else.
It seems to me that life will always throw us curve balls, even major ones.
But when that happens, I want to pray, “Ok, God…we really need you this time. It feels like we have stepped into quicksand and need to be grounded again. Please help us to not lose our way.”
Who or what grounds you with goodness when all seems to be out of focus? We need to hang on to that…but be vigilant.
