Confusion

I’m at one of those points in my life where I’m just confused. I think that everyone has one of those days where we wake up and just know that the day is going to take a lot more work to be successful than others. I’ve been so overwhelmed with homework and studying lately that I don’t even have time to stop and evaluate things, and as an engineer in training, I need to be able to analyze my day to really feel good about it.

There are days when I feel great because I finally feel like I have everything under control, and then the next day comes when everything comes crashing down. It seems like it all happens at once, all the stress that I thought I had under control just comes right back. I thought my new trust in God would protect me from all of this.

How many wake up calls do I really need? As many as it takes to get me to WAKE UP. It’s so easy to love God one day, and then fall into the same routine as before. I still trust God and pray all the time, but when everything is going perfectly, it’s too easy. God wants us to work at our faith because it’s continually changing.

When we have days where it seems like nothing is going right, we just need to keep reminding ourselves that God is in control, and He will never give us more than we can handle. I can’t stress this fact enough. God wants to be in a relationship with us so much that He will literally give us reasons to come to Him when it seems like we’re too far away to turn around. God’s love is beyond all that we will ever comprehend during our time here.

I pray that when you’re confused about the future and why everything seems to come apart at once that you can turn your eyes to Jesus and realize that you will come out victorious from this battle. Faith and grace make that more than possible.

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43:1b-2
