Probably not as much as this guy who was trapped in the McGraw-Hill Building in NYC for more than 40 hours! That’s almost 2 days without food, water, shower, restroom, clean clothes. No bed, no blankets, no pillow. Light but no sun. Air but no breeze. It is a pretty good metaphor, don’t you think?
Where are you at in your life? Have you every thought about this scripture:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” — John 14:6 (NKJV)
I don’t want to oversimplify anyone’s individual situation. I’ve empathized, watched, and been in some pretty rotten scenarios. A great friend of mine told me something in one of the rough times that has always stuck with me. He said, “Look, there’s a point A and a point B. You are at point A. Your job is to make it to point B.”
Sometimes, you know exactly what the next step is - and you haven’t taken it. Pray to Christ for the life, or the courage to move forward.
Sometimes, you are faced with multiple options - and you are confused. Pray to Christ for the truth the be revealed, the best path for you (not necessarily someone else’s).
Sometimes, you have no idea what to do, and no options. Pray to Christ to light the way, and help you find an answer or resolution.
Don’t be surprised if the answer is “wait” or “be patient”. Don’t be surprised if the answer doesn’t come as you expect. Don’t be surprised if the answer doesn’t come all at once. Don’t be surprised if the answer is better than you expect.
