I Got You
Contributed by Glynda Lomax on Oct 2, 2021 (message contributor)
I like to take my dogs places with me. They have their own seats in the back seat of my pickup.
I have a small elderly dog named Bambi who has always had anxiety, I think from having to survive on her own when she lived in the streets as a tiny little thing with no one to feed or care for her.
A few days ago, we had gone to pick up a grocery order and, arriving home, I went to get Bambi out of the seat to go into the house. As soon as I picked her up, she began fighting me. She fights, kicks and squirms hard for a small dog. All I was trying to do was set her gently down to the ground so she could walk indoors.
As she continued to fight me, I tried to calm her down. “I got you, I got you. It’s okay! I got you.”
Suddenly I realized that’s exactly how we are with the Lord when we don’t understand a situation. He’s trying to help us, and we struggle, trying to get our own footing when the whole time, He’s saying “I got you! It’s okay, I got you!”

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2016
A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?
