God you are so much bigger than anything we face here on earth

Instead of talking to God only about our problems, we need to talk to Him about Him . . . then we can begin to mention the problem.

~~Joyce Meyer

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Problems mount. Anxiety closes in. Sensing your desperation, a well-meaning friend advises, “Well, all you can do now is pray.” It’s your last resort—you’ve done everything you possibly could. Now it’s up to God. Sound familiar?

Praying, however, is not only the first thing we should do; it’s also the best way to put our problems in perspective.

When we come to God in prayer, we need to shift the focus of our prayers from our troubles to the One who can handle them. Remember his vastness and steadfastness. His infinite wisdom and almighty power. His unquenchable love for us. His willingness to bridge the gap between his holiness and our sin with his very own beloved Son.

As you offer up praise and awestruck wonder at who God is—at how big he is—problems pale in comparison and shrink in his majestic shadow.

Prayer for Meditation

God you are so much bigger than anything I face here on earth.    

Scripture for Meditation

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! Psalm 147:3-5
