Questions?

Ever wonder why things aren't happening the way you want?

What about all those people who seem to have everything going right? Why can't I be like them?

Where is God in all this? I thought He would help me through this?

Don't despise the day of small things. God said He is working in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. It's so simple you want to get mad, but if you don't ask God for direction or for help, then His hands are tied. James reminds us to ask in faith. Faith is simply stepping out as if God is already doing the thing you asked Him, because He is.

  • Keep your chin up, it will only get better from here.
  • Trust God is always on your side, because he is.
  • Ask the Lord for help, because He is our Great Helper.
  • Step out of your comfort zone and act like God is doing what He said He would do.

Besides, the people you think have it all together are asking the same questions.

Can You Hear Me Now?

What do you do when God speaks?

Do you listen and obey or do you disregard and defy? Are you quiet enough to hear His voice or is everything so loud you didn't know God would speak to you?

Let me assure you; God is speaking to us all the time. We just have to get quiet long enough to hear His voice. If prayer seems like a one sided conversation, do more listening than speaking.

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise." We always come to God with the emphasis on Him. No matter how dire the need, we must deny ourselves to access His Grace. Grace is God empowering us to do what we couldn't do on our own. When we focus on Him we are enabled to do, become or recieve what we couldn't before.

Instead of going into prayer let's go Listen. Just remember He leads us by Peace (Is. 55:12).
