this thought keeps coming to my mind..and I want you to remind me of it when i am in the muck..

What good purposes does our Savior serve if we don't allow Him to save us from the serious chaos in our lives...if he only saves us in times of happiness and joy.

There is so much that He can save us from...so much more..and yet, we try to do all of the saving ourselves and don't draw upon Him...His power to save.  

^{Job 4:3} “In the past you have encouraged many people;
      you have strengthened those who were weak.
 ⁴ Your words have supported those who were falling;
      you encouraged those with shaky knees.
 ⁵ But now when trouble strikes, you lose heart.
      You are terrified when it touches you.
 ⁶ Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence?
      Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?

We sin when don't believe in His ability to save us from ourselves..but the great news is that His forgiveness can give us great peace, His word can sustain us, praying to Him can comfort and give us great confidence, talking about Him can spread His life giving power to others...
