Rowing against the wind

But wait, there's more... as I go through bankruptcy, all the past was being re-lived by means of how I got to this point. The marital problems or the missed opportunities to come to a settlement w/ credit card company, the depression, the loss of living a life. Then I have a lawsuit against me and an impossible amount of paperwork, of which, I do not fully understand.

In the book of Mark, there was a great multitude of people and it was time to eat but they only had 5 loaves of bread and two fish. The disciples asked if they spend 200 units of money to go buy bread for the five thousand people. In the end, all were fed to their fulfillment. Jesus took an impossible moment and made it happen. A true miracle.

That is just what I am up against in this paperwork- an impossible situation to complete it as required. But, I call out for help.

Psalm 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.

I am not alone in this- but only if I desire.

After Jesus fed the five thousand, He made His disciples get into a boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida. But the disciples were rowing against the wind and here comes Jesus walking on water. They cried out in fear of the ghost that was drawing near. Then Jesus said, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased.

How many times to we find ourselves rowing against the wind... I find myself doing it quite a bit. But... how many times do we give ourselves and opportunity to call out to Him. In these storms that we face, there is always going to be turmoil to a degree- but when we call upon Jesus... the storms subside and His peace covers our understanding (Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.)
