GOD'S POWER - OVERWHELMED

When you are overwhelmed by the different obstacles that life may through your way, turn to God and pray.  He will give you the power and wisdom to make all the right decisions and choices.

"Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.  My souls is in deep anguish.  How long, Lord, how long?  Turn, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love."  Psalm 6:2-4

"That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, 'Let us go over to the other side.' Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.  There were also other boats with him.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.  Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion.  The disciples woke him and said to him, 'Teacher, don't you care if we drown?'  He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 'Quiet!  Be still!'  Then the wind died down and it was completely calm."  Mark 4:35-39

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world."  John 16:33

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things?  If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"  Romans 8:31,32

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God:  that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."  John 5:14
