In life's journey we all go through trials and there never easy , but we can't sit back and watch them drowned us. I like to think of God as my lifeguard when I'm going under the water crying out for help in my mind and I can't come back up he jumps into the water and saves me. So many times we feel like we can't go on and its just too much of a burden to endure, but God will carry our burdens just as it says in Psalms 68:19. Life is not fair. God never said it would be, but he is there for us when life seems unfair. I think time to time about people that lose a love one or an orphan that has no family really just anyone that is going through a storm . Its a heavy burden when we go through a storm, but yet its even heavier when they have no one to give there burden to. You need someone in your times of need, someone that will listen, that understands, and that you can trust. You can't always turn to a friend or family member. They can only do so much to help you because there human. That is why I am so thankful I have a God I can go to in the many trials I face. I can run to him and his arms are wide open all the time. He gives me this peace that no one can give, he assures me he will never leave me, he will love me no matter what and he proved that love on the cross. Everyone wants someone they can lean on in times of trouble and we have a God who we can lean on the rest of our lives. I think of a time in my life where I lost my job and all I could think about is "Why Lord" YOU gave me this job and now YOU took it away. I loved my job why would YOU take it away? I remember coming home shutting my bedroom door and falling on my knees crying out to God. I was upset and needed comfort. I depend on him so it was natural to me to come him in my time of need. He came to me and gave me everything I expected when I got on my knees. Yes, it didn't change that I was upset or that I thought it was unfair, but I did get the peace I desperately needed. Its been about six months since then and I still sometimes feel "Why Lord" but I know he has a better plan and there’s a time for everything. I just wasn't suppose to be there anymore. God gave and he took it away. He will give again in his time. Let God be your lifeguard call on him when you need help, he will save you in your storm. Jonah was in distress when he was in the fish he called on the Lord and he answered him just as he will answer you in your time of need "Jonah 2:1-6." It may not be exactly the way you thought, but his ways are best. By a pool or at the beach usually there is a lifeguard watching the people keeping an eye on them to make sure that they follow the rules to keep them safe. Just as God is always watching us and if he knows were in trouble he will come to us and rescue us. Call on your lifeguard when your drowning he will save you.
