Helplessness

Ever felt helpless? Have you ever been in a situation where you cannot do anything to change it one way or the other?

There are times when God puts us in situations that make it evident that we are not in control; when such times prevail it is ours to determine whether or not God is really in control.

Sounds simple enough to do, because if you grew up like me, God is always in control, total control. Well if that is so, then how do you explain the Tsunami, slavery, or still born babies?

Prayer changes things? Well what happens when you pray and things don’t change? It’s pitiful when those who are to inspire hope and encourage the soul find themselves inconsolable and in need of inspiration and encouragement? It’s funny how there always those leveling moments, where we are all reminded that we are all on an equal playing field.

Only God can soothe the soul, only God can give peace.

Put it in God’s hands? Of course, even though it already is in his hands. I guess it’s something we have to say so that we can release the worry and help us to realize that there are some things that are just out of our hands.

Don’t get me wrong, I know God doesn’t owe me any favors.
And though he slay me, yet will I trust him.

But don’t you have some unanswered prayers that you want answered more than others? Like this one I’m like for real, for real God. I need you to do this one God.

I know that I needed to work on my appreciation.

I hate going to God’s class rooms.

But if you don’t know, you have to go

And I guess I needed to know… that I am helpless without him.
