Drowning...

Drowning...

Have you ever felt like you were drowning? - Drowning in pain, fear, confusion, doubt... I've been there. I've been in that awful, frightening place; just trying to keep my head above water....fighting so hard to "make" things happen; trying so hard; kicking, screaming, trying to control things...trying -

...Trying to keep your head above water.

I've often heard it said that the worst thing you can do while drowning is kick, scream, and fight. All this activity actual prevents you from being saved. Youre really fighting against your help...

Isaiah 40:10 says "Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."

Instead of panicking; Let Go. Believe that God is with you and will hold you up above the water. Just rest in Him. Lean back and float on the promises of God.

You'll soon begin to know peace. You'll soon begin to sense His presence.

Take it from a survivor!
Love,
