What to do When Life Spirals Out of Control

Read Psalm 22:27-28

Today’s Truth

In Psalm 22, David voices his frustrations about not feeling God in a moment of need. He also acknowledges that even though he feels abandoned, he isn’t, because God is still God and God is still good.

In moments of fear, panic, or frustration, we too can cling to the truth the Bible gives us about who God is, and how much He loves us. The same promises David clings to in his suffering can help us hold tightly to God’s character even when we can’t see or feel it.

Discussion Questions

Have you ever felt abandoned during a hard time?
What is one way you can help yourself remember the truth about who God is, even in the midst of a hard situation?

Application

When life throws a curveball, we can cling to these truths and know that everything will be OK — not because of what we do, but because of who God is.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
