When the storms of life hit, do you ever feel like God doesn't care?

Well, just like Jesus' disciples in that sinking boat, we can sometimes wonder.

Here's Mary Cassian.

We may believe that God is big enough, but we question whether he is interested enough in us, whether he loves us enough to help.

Oh, he's interested in the pastor or the

missionaries or our friend down the street, but is he really interested in me? This is the Revive

Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamuth, author of Lies Women Believe. For March 13th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

myself that God is in control, and he's not surprised by this change in my schedule. And so I do

react differently, even though I continue to feel that feeling at first. Yeah, those panic producers,

I think they're different things for different ones of us. For me, it's feeling like they're way
