290 – What do you do when you feel helpless?

Have you ever been so worried about something you couldn’t sleep? 

The problem just loomed too large for you to fix personally. 

And you couldn’t even imagine how anyone individually or collectively could resolve the situation.

Just recently two friends confided in me they couldn’t sleep because of all that’s going on in the world right now.

But there IS a solution.

This week's episode shares powerful Bible examples of situations where people felt helpless, and how God helped them in very unexpected ways. 

  • The Children of Israel in front of the Red Sea
  • Jehoshaphat being attacked by enemy armies
  • Jesus's disciples watching Jesus being taken down from the cross

In all these situations, there was something bigger going on. Even though most people couldn't see it, God was at work.

Whatever situation you're facing today which makes you feel helpless, there is something bigger going on. God is at work in your life and whatever situation you feel helpless in. Even if you don't see it, God is bringing healing.
