“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
Romans 8:32
How can I prepare for the uncertainties of tomorrow? Can I make up for my mistakes of the past year? What about the pressures threatening me today? How can I face them?
Thoughts like these come whispering—sometimes even shouting—when we are unprepared to give an answer. They spring like leaks in our ship. We stop them up and try to carry on. But suddenly the plug pops, and the questions come pouring out again. We long to find refuge in a safe harbor.
Sooner or later, more anxieties haunt us: Why does my ship keep springing leaks? Is it even seaworthy? How can I make it through life’s storms in an unreliable vessel? Am I in danger of being swamped by my nagging insecurity and fear?
When these sorts of worries overwhelm you, cry out to the Captain of your soul. Hold on to the assurance you have from the God of all creation. Your loving Father rushes in—not to ignore or suppress your questions, but to point you to His Son. Cry out to Him; He will meet your deepest need. He comes to us in the storm and keeps us safe and secure in Him.
