Stuck on the roof

Recently, I  adopted a dog. She's a lab/dane mix and has proven to be a loyal companion. The only problem with her is that she has separation anxiety. If I am out of her reach or sight she whimpers and whines.
A few days ago I used a ladder to climb on the roof.  I was clearing some dead limbs and leaves off the carport. While on the roof, my dog circled the house desperately. Whimpering, trying to get to me. In her panic, she tried to climb the ladder and knocked it over. Here I am stuck on the roof!

I picked out the lowest spot on the roof and jumped
down about 8ft to the ground.

As I reflect on the events I can't help but think about my relationship with God. When I'm separated from God because of my sin I panic. I run around desperately whimpering and whining causing more problems than there was.

The bible says:  Matthew 7-7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye.shall find; knock, and it shall be opened untoyou: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Stay close to the Master and don't lose focus.
