Rising "Above Our Circumstances"

I praise God for the realization that we CAN RISE ABOVE the challenging times in our lives! However, we MUST take the time to seek God's Face and rest with Him! It's up to us to NOT allow these times to be our main focus. 

I sometimes have trouble asking for help from friends - much less from my Lord - even when I desperately need help. Today's reading and scriptures are wonderful reminders that it's o.k. to ask our Lord for His help. What was most reassuring was that we can say, "Help me, Jesus" thousands of times a day and our Lord will meet us and draw us back to Him.

The story of Peter in the scripture from Matthew 14 is an interesting one in that he was a man of great faith. However, when Jesus asked Peter to come to Him across the lake, it got really windy and Peter got scared. That's when He said, "Lord, save me!" Have you had times that you have had to cry out with a great need? During the "mountains" that we all have to climb, how blessed it is to know that we can ask our Lord for help - and He will hear us!
