SEEKING HELP
Proverbs 3:6
Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take.
Do you ever feel like life is filled with problems, challenges, and everyday decisions that require your attention? Whether you’re working or retired, there are always things to consider. If you’re employed, everyone seems to have something they want. Do this, get that, what do you think about this project? It’s an endless cycle. There simply aren’t enough hours in a day to handle everything.
Even if you’re retired, there are still decisions to be made. If you have an ache or a pain, do you call the doctor or wait to see if it goes away on its own? You have a trip you’ve been planning to take, but would it be better to go next month? Your family complains that you can’t hear worth a darn, but you think it’s just them. Maybe you should make that appointment with the hearing specialist, but you know that’s a decision for another day.
The simplest way to solve a problem is to redirect your thoughts. I understand that working can make this challenging, but coffee breaks are precisely for that purpose. Take a deep breath and focus on something else for about five minutes. Alternatively, you could even turn to someone else, like God, who is often considered the solution to all problems.
History has shown that those who have walked with God have discovered the strength to overcome their fears. Let’s face it, making decisions can be scary. Faith in God ensures that individuals remain resilient and steadfast when faced with difficult decisions. The same God who calmed the sea and hushed the wind when the disciples were overwhelmed is the same God who encourages us to “be strong and courageous,” reminding us not to be afraid. I’ve repeated those very words, “be strong and courageous,” numerous times over the past few months. Place your trust in Him, knowing that His love and grace will always protect you. He is always there to guide you through life’s storms and help you make the right decisions.
The Worship and Praise group sings about a Waymaker, a miracle worker, a promise keeper, and a light in the darkness. He’s working even when we can’t see it, even when we don’t feel it. He never stops; he’s always working for you, for me, and for anyone who believes in him. All you have to do is take a breath and say, “Hey God, I could use some help here. Life is a bit overwhelming, and there are so many decisions to make and things that need to be done. Can you help me, guide me in the right direction so that I don’t make the wrong choices?”
Matthew 7:7-8
Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take.
