Thoughts on "The Confident Woman"

I am reading a book called the confident woman by Joyce Meyer, which is an AWESOME book and i saw this and thought it should be shared.. :]

Life can sometimes make us feel like we're in over our heads, but the reality is that, without God, we're always in over our heads. For example, a little 3 year old girl felt secure in her father's arms as dad stood in the middle of a swimming pool. But dad, for fun, began walking slowly toward the deep end gently chanting, "deeper and deeper and deeper," as the water rose higher and higher on the child. The girl's face registered increasing degrees of panic, as she held all the more tightly to her father, who, of course, easily touched the bottom. Had the little girl been able to analyze her situation, she'd have realized there was no reason to panic. The water's depth in ANY part of the pool was over her head. For her, safety anywhere in that pool depended upon dad. At various points in our lives, all of us feel we're getting "out of our depth" or "in over ur heads." There are problems all around: A job is lost, someone dies, there is strife in the family, or a bad report came from the doctor. When these things happen, our temptation is to panis, because we feel we've lost control. But think about it-just like the child in the pool, the truth is we've never been in control when it comes to life's most crucial elements. We've always been held up by the grace of God, our Father, and that won't change. God is never out of His depth, and therefore we're as safe when we're in life's "deep end " as we were in the kiddie pool.
