When troubles gang up on you, there are two possible attitudes to take. One is to become discouraged, even hopeless, and to give up. This attitude is, of course, disastrous.

 

For if you admit even to yourself that you do not have the ability to cope with things, your personal resources will not come into action. But what if you were confident that you could change things?

 

Confidence is a word we all use but many of us barely think about. I will say that the surest way to live confidently is to have what I call “a big God.” Many of us at different times in our lives have a very little God. And make no mistake: It is we who have limited him.

 

We believe in God, but as to applying his power, his might, his love and his greatness to our lives, we aren’t always confident the idea will work. We practically disconnect from God in our day-to-day lives. We try to take on our troubles alone.

 

But if you think of a big God, if you pray to a big God, if you act like there is a big God, you will grow big spiritually and in every other way and big results will accrue. You will be a partner of a big God.
