A Serious Dog — Responsible to the Max
Good Evening, God!
This was ME the other night! Kit and I had watched 60 minutes and I was overwhelmed by the horrifying events stirred by ISIS in the Middle East. Oh, God! I was overcome with Worry and Fear and Visions of what could lie ahead.
It was way too much for me to handle. Way too much. I did pray . . . but, as You know, it is hard for me to trust. I was like this dog. Alert! Watching! Protective. Still, sigh, only a dog and a small one at that.
I can understand how it is that most of us throw up our hands and sink into hopelessness . . . I was in the Depth of Despair . . . but then my wonderful husband woke up and comforted me.
Yes, we are small. But I feel so clearly that we are called to ask You to show us what we CAN do. We can start by giving money. The American Friends Service Committee, for one, does very good work.
And surely I must PRAY for those who are doing such horrific things. I am asking You to help me do that because it’s HARD!
And please show me what else I can do . . .
Hmm. You have told us in many ways and at many times what we can do . . . and You have told us what NOT to do. Please help us remember and follow.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
