‘When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.’
Acts 27:20 NIV
(Excerpt from Facing the Giant of Fear – Day 12) There are times when God seems inaccessible. When you pray, you feel abandoned in your present circumstances. And not just abandoned, but terrified and even hopeless.
Are you caught in a storm? Whatever trial you’re facing today, know this one thing: you can trust God to carry you through it. He determines ‘the end from the beginning’ (Isaiah 46:10 NIV), so you will come out of this stronger and wiser.
Prayer:
Father, I acknowledge Your power and sovereignty. You are the creator of the universe and I get to speak to You one-on-one. Forgive me, Lord, for when I have thought that any situation in life was too big a job for You to handle. I pray today, Lord, that You will make me more than a conqueror through Christ, and I will be influential in and for Your Kingdom.
“Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.”
Isaiah 46:8-11 ESV
