Think About This...'Don't allow Distress, Fear, or Problems To Overwhelm You...give it to God.'
Psalm 61:1-2 (NKJV)
Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
It was a beautiful Friday afternoon, December 28th, 2012. My son Matt & I were driving on the Coronado Bay Bridge when traffic in the lane in front of us suddenly stopped. We went around like others and noticed a man was out of his pick-up truck, who climbed up to sit on the cement side rail of the bridge. My son, who was driving pulled over in front of his truck and we got out. He was going to commit suicide! We attempted to talk with him that Jesus loved him and he ought not to do that. He wouldn't listen and told us not to come closer. He plunged over 200 feet off this bridge to his death. My son watched in horror as his body hit the water. I looked away and back again to only see his body float on the water. We prayed for him when we went to our car. I believe God had us come there at that same time to save his life and he was given another chance...we heard later he was alive after hitting the water but later he finally died...The Police told us (both San Diego & California Highway Patrol) that most people would not have stopped to help him...
Jesus said that he came to save those who were lost... Our hearts were saddened for someone we didn't even know except that Jesus wanted us help him and to tell him that he loved him...
Philippians 4:6 (NKJV)
6 Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;Jesus said that he came to save those who were lost... Our hearts were saddened for someone we didn't even know except that Jesus wanted us help him and to tell him that he loved him...
Philippians 4:6 (NKJV)
1 Peter 5:7 (NASB)
7 casting
all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
