Sometimes the world seems like a dark and crazy place at times. Sometimes things just don't go the way we would like them to go. Jesus told us that in this world we would experience troubles. Troubles and difficult moments come to each of us at times. We don't like troubles. None of us do.
The good thing to know is that no matter what troubling times may come to us we can know that the Lord we be with us each step of the way. We can draw nearer to Him in those times of trial and troubles. When we read the Bible we can see how He has worked in people's lives in the past and we can be reminded how He has seen us through difficult times in our own lives.
Life isn't easy. No one ever said it would be. We can also know that whatever hard challenging moment may come the Lord can use it to draw us closer to Himself and during that trial we can learn more about how Awesome the Lord is. He is indeed more powerful than any difficulty that we encounter.
I had a little trial over the past few days when my computer decided to keep rebooting and it wouldn't stop. I was concerned and discouraged. I prayed about it and worried a little bit wondering if all of my pictures that I have taken would be lost. Thankfully I have learned to make backups and backups of backups. During my times of prayer I was reminded that YouTube is full of videos and tutorials. So I used my Tablet and went looking online and I was led to a tutorial that led me through the steps I needed to take to get my computer back up and running. I followed the directions and now my computer works so far.
Sometimes when trials come and difficulties arise we try to handle them in our own strength and power. When we do that things usually don't work out very well for us. When hard times come and challenges raise their ugly heads we need to turn to the Lord in prayer right then and there and ask Him for help and direction. God is always just a prayer away. He is a willing helper in our time of need. He loves us and cares for us. He wants to help us, but sometimes we fail to ask Him for help because we are prideful and self centered. We need to learn to be God centered and Christ focused.
I need to lean upon the Lord more then I do. I fail to seek Him for help in prayer at times. I can't handle things on my own. I am weak and powerless on my own. I am not very skilled or talented, but thankfully the Lord is my helper and He will guide my steps. The Lord will grant us the wisdom we need. All we have to do is ask.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Sometimes we fail to seek You for help and for that we are sorry.
Grant us wisdom and understanding.
Pour out Your love into our hearts in a greater way.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your help and guidance.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
