Book excerpt: Everyone of us knows days when we are scared, like David, confused and rebellious, like Job, or at out wits end, like Jeremiah, asking whether God has forgotten us. Christians too often start to panic when our physical or emotional pain becomes too much and problems even our best friends don’t know about become too heavy. But, says Maretha Maartens, those feelings are temporary. We do not drown. In fact, we become increasingly like Jesus. Whatever happens, we cope, because: C: We have Christ. He is faithful. He hears and reacts to our cries for help. O: The O refl ects the lowest point, the Oh! of our lament. It reminds us of the times we found ourselves in the depths of despair, but also that God has brought us back to to the light. P: Although we experience times of Panic, Problems and Pain, we have a Passover Lamb, a Person to whom we can go with our problems. E: We have God’s Eternal promises, and He has made an Eternal covenant with us.
