You Thought You Could But, Found Out That You Could Not....

My Strong Sisters & Brothers,

We must not leave God out of any equation.  Many times, we feel that solving a problem is doable, not necessarily easy, but can be done our way.  Well, allow me not to be the messenger of bad news, but, of good news.  God is the answer,  for He never leaves us alone.  In life, we feel that we do so much on our own, but we really do not.  How about wake up each day, have the function of limbs, have a stable mind, care and have a true concern for others or  go through even (1) day free from hurt, harm or danger.  We can easily feel that if we inhale and exhale that it is all us, but no, it is God giving us life, when we awaken, we think, it is "because our bodies have an alarm clock."  However, it is God blessing us with another day, when we think things over and reconcile our problems or even decide to brush our teeth and eat, it is God that is keeping our minds, when our hearts have love for others, it is God that we are sharing with others.  God is there for us through everything and we must keep Him in everything.

Many, Many times we think that we are a bother to God, because, we cry to Him so often about the same problem, can you believe that He is there every time.  He will wait on us to put our entire trust in Him.  He already knows what to do with our problems and how to fix them.  Unfortunately, we are so easy to just pass our control, our happiness and our securities over to others. Yet, we hold on to the very thing that God asks us to give Him, our troubles, our cares, our burdens.  He wants to make us whole, not leave us in a broken state.  We must allow Him to help us put the pieces back together.  He can make us brand new and free from torment, worry, stress, doubt and depression.  I added doubt, because, we are so held down from climbing up due to doubting that we can do anything right.  Well, God does not agree with that, He wants to raise us up, lift our heads and give us confidence in His name.

There is no shame what so ever in admitting that we can not do things alone.  We should request the presence and intervention of God to come to our rescue, to make a wonderful difference in our lives, to counsel us and give us pure joy in our hearts, bless our feet that we may walk in the strength that He commands.  All of this, He promises to do for us right here on earth.  All we have to do is to stop thinking that we can do it alone and give God the controls.  No one or nothing is greater than He.
