In all situations, we should pray. Ask the Father to show us the answers, "please Lord Help us to know what to do." However, do we want to hear the things He tells us?
Although He sends them repeatedly, we either do not hear or do not listen. Why? Often it's because we want what WE want, and not what God desires.
Unlike us, God can see the whole picture. How much easier our lives would be if we would stop on the first go-around and surrender our will over to His. Isn't this what Jesus always did?
Instead of thinking that it is our responsibility to fix things, should we instead rely on and trust God entirely to guide and manage every area of our life, to fulfill all our needs, the big and the small?
The reply should always be yes! He says He will supply our every necessity, (Psa 34:9).
When are we going to take Him at His Word and trust Him to do what He SAYS HE WILL DO? God is always ready and able to help us when we ask, it's a daily decision.
Just think how much better our lives can and will be when we stop the madness and say, "O.K. Lord, I'm letting go, it's yours now, I surrender all."
Let's not be blind-sided by the devil, who is the father of all lies. We know he takes just a little truth and mixes in a whole lot of other stuff, then tries his best to plant seeds of confusion and wrong thinking into our minds.
If we let those seeds sprout and grow, before you know it we will be suffering consequences that are not a part of God's plan for our lives.
For Believers there is great news! God's Word says, "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
Let's vow to die to self and truly listen to the Master. The One who gives us life and breath in the first place.
If you're not a believer, you can Ask Jesus into Your Heart Now.
Do you want to get serious and avoid a lot of pain and suffering? The kind of suffering that comes from a rebellious spirit? There is a solution, and this is it:
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD. Read Eph 6:10-18. Are you ready? Go ahead - give it all to Him, stay with Him and don't ever let go. He won't!
Jesus wants to see us, talk with us, and to be a part of our lives from start to finish. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers. (Eph 6: 18-B)
Remember, God is not the author of confusion, but of love, power, and a sound mind! (2 Tim 1:7)

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
