Dazed and Confused
Overwhelming circumstances have flooded my life. Like waves crashing against a hapless boat, events have transpired that have sent me adrift. I haven’t lost anyone close to me. My children have their health. As far as my health goes, it’s intact. But the spiritual peace within those closest to me has seen brighter days. The storm clouds swallow the horizon and the thunder rumbles in the distance. The big one swiftly approaches; I can smell it on the air.
What happens when God allows one of his own to face the storm? How is one supposed to respond?
The blows have come in rapid succession, without warning, and I’ve been left dazed and confused. In raw confession I told a dear friend, “I don’t know how to feel; what am I to think?” Times like these occur for all of us. They happen. God lets them.
Do we pull up our anchor and give up? Do we seek shelter? Here’s a word from God that gave me direction.
Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I –Psalm 61
