Feeling helpless is not fun. Personally it makes me sad to not be able to solve many of life’s mysteries. One of my emails told of a person I know who is battling a life threatening illness. He is suffering in many ways I can only imagine. Truthfully, I hate this happening. I am praying for God to bring healing and at the same time I wish I could do more.
But that is one of my fundamental problems in life. I am not God. It is so easy to write those words and yet ignore the importance of that fact. Only God is God and only God is in control of life. I am a limited being who can only do what God allows and gives me the wisdom and strength to do.
Once I get this thought into my life -really get it deep into my being -then I can relax and just let life happen. Part of the joy of life comes about in realizing who really is in charge.
