Healing
Thankfully, I have yet to have an emergency where I need to call 911. I know this resource is available to me should I need it.
When our neighbors were making too much noise in the middle of the night, I was one of the people who called a non-emergency number, and was told by the officer that I was welcome to call whenever a problem presented itself, day or night.
This gives me a sense of security, knowing that I have access to help when it's needed.
Of course, there are emergencies of the spiritual kind, and times when I have felt utterly alone. "Where are you God? Why are you not answering my prayers?" When this sort of emergency comes upon me, I turn my bible to Psalms. I find comfort in this book because David is grateful to God, afraid God has left him, and then again praising His name. This is a reflection of my own semi-schizophrenic relationship with God. I am at once hopeful and faith-less. But through it all, He is always there. Even when we don't feel His presence.
My favorite verse for times when I feel like there is no one on the other end of my prayer line is this:
Psalm 46:1 (KJV) ” God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble “.
Driving down the freeway I spotted a plumbing truck with it's phone number on the side. In big letters is said "Help is on the way". God wants us to know the same thing.
