"And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." — Matthew 15:27
“The woman thought Christ one who kept so good a table that all that she needed would only be a crumb in comparison; yet remember, what she wanted was to have the devil cast out of her daughter. It was a very great thing to her, but she had such a high esteem of Christ, that she said, ‘It is nothing to Him, it is but a crumb for Christ to give.’” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
Whatever it is that you require, it is but a crumb to Christ. He can meet your need without exhausting His resources. He has more than enough for whatever is too much for you. He is compassionate and capable. He cares enough to do something and He is competent enough to do anything. If He were only one or the other, we would be in dire straights, either at the mercy of an all-powerful, but indifferent Oz or in the keep of a well-meaning, but limited Lord. But since He is both, we can be bold in facing our fears and asking for His help.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Luke 1:37
With God nothing shall be impossible.
