Devotions; Defeating the Destroyer

Day 138

It's hard to see someone you love struggling when you can't do anything about it. It's hard to be helpless and not in control. My grandfather just got diagnosed with cancer the other day and the worst part is knowing there is nothing I can do to help. The worst part is the waiting and sense of absolute helplessness because there is nothing you can do. It's easy to worry about what's going to happen and get upset because they're isn't anything you can do. In those situations when you can't do anything don't sit around and worry, pray to God. Pray to help whoever's hurting and then tell God you trust Him. If you need help trusting Him then ask God to help you trust Him. Trusting God with big things going on in your life doesn't happen instantly. You have to practice it like you practice every thing else and you also have to build you relationship with God because of you don't know Him you won't trust Him in a hard time. Practice trusting God with little things such as being late to work or raining on you sports practice.
