Remember the Apollo 13 space mission? So much hope and so many challenges! Remember the famous call for help “Houston, we have a problem”? The crew was faced with the unknown and felt ill-equipped to address the crisis. The NASA team started by looking at what they had on-board to solve the problem. That’s a lot like life, we often look at what we don’t have instead of the resources at hand.

Have you ever felt ill-equipped to handle a challenge? You might say, “you can’t make this up”! Yet, there are so many Biblical stories of God using the most unlikely people in the most challenging circumstances. Perhaps you have felt like the most unlikely person—but there is more to your story!

God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery, and Moses, who didn’t see himself as a leader or capable of this task, pleaded with the Lord, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” (Exodus 4) Can you relate? We can come up with all sorts of reasons why we are not the most likely to succeed.

It is great to have experts help us in our time of need. Perhaps you have an overwhelming circumstance and feel the desperation of not feeling equipped to handle the challenge. “Lord, I have a problem” is the cry of your heart. We hear you!
