What
to do in an Emergency
The first thing is to call 911 if someone is being
hurt or in danger. Some people do not want to call 911 but you
have a responsibility to protect anyone who is being hurt so
do not wait to call 911.
The Bible says that the police are the servants of God, so call
them if you need them.
Do not forget that God said, "I
am always with you."
Do NOT live in this crisis alone. Yes, it is embarrassing to
ask for help but why let your pride get in the way of getting
some help? Call a friend or your pastor and ask for prayer.
If
God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:33
God is faithful, who will not allow
you to be tested more than what you are able to handle.
1 Cor. 10:13
As soon as you can,
read something from the Bible (especially Psalms)
and take some notes about what
God shows you.
You
might try getting
a piece of
paper out and make two columns:
Write "What
can I learn from this?" in one column, and "Things
that I do not understand" in the other column. Pray about
these things and ask God to show you the answer.
Some people
say that you should never ask "Why?" That
is not true,
God tells you to
ask Him for wisdom
about things you do not understand.
The
main thing to know is that God wants you to live by faith and
not by sight.
He wants you
to trust Him and not your own wisdom about this problem.
