Cast-1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him….” Often we need to “cast” the same anxiety many times before it seems to disappear. An hour should not go by without having some conversation with Him. I’m not just talking about a morning devotional time. In what ways, therefore, should we be more constant in our walk with God? Connect-There is no substitute for consistent, frequent times with God. The more we are constant and personal in our relationship with Him, the more we will understand and trust Him. Our Walk with God Of course, we know God isn’t limited or unkind, so how do we fight the tendency to think and behave as if He is? A key relationship principle might be helpful here: The more you spend time with people, the more you understand them and see their heart. Or, with all that is going on in the world, He just hasn’t noticed I am in over my head with things to do. Or maybe He has a mean streak causing Him to ignore my need and let me suffer. What are we saying when we worry and fear? Basically, that one or more of the above are not true: God can’t really handle this situation. There are 3 very important truths about God we must make a part of our daily lives: So, without apology, I repeat what I have shared before. But many people struggle to apply these truths in daily life. Our View of God You hopefully believe the following characteristics about God. How can a person rise above all this? As I said earlier, “God.” Certainly, there are many practical things we can do to not feel pressure, like delegate or say “no.“ However, there is nothing more powerful we can do than improving our view of God and our walk with Him. I was faced with a potentially overwhelming load with emotions and consequences all at once. I needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible. While trying to determine with other leaders what to do, I got a call from Judy saying our son, Josh, had a chainsaw kick up and hit him in the forehead. At the same time, the worldwide ministry faced a few uncertainties with possible significant consequences. My speaking schedule there was full, not including preparation time for my talks. I remember returning from a trip to Togo one week in December 2011.
