Do you trust wholly in the Lord, or do you only run to Him when you are desperate, having exhausted all other sources of help?
God loves you!
He wants
you to come boldly to Him for help (Hebrews 4:16, Philippians 4:6-7).
He wants you to acknowledge Him and thank Him for all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
He wants you to renew your mind (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:20-24) by reading and
applying His will.
See how well God's way works - prove it to yourself first, so you can easily prove it to others also (Romans 12:1).
When you let God guide you by His word - the Bible - you will have instruction that is consistent and does not contradict itself. It is the same for you and for anyone who willingly applies themselves to God's word and will.
Turn to God. Train yourself to seek Him first.
- In good times with praise.
- In difficult times with prayer.
- In all times with thanksgiving!
Let His word direct your steps and find help to faithfully flourish by following His instruction (Psalm 1:1-3, Proverbs 16:3, James 1:25)!
You can do it! So can I!!
Thanks for these thoughts, well written! Patsy
