The Right Answer.

I have realized that when I take it all into my own hands I end up making the situation worst.

(This is going to be very graphic.)

Have you ever had a bump(zit-I told you it would be graphic) on your face that you decided to fool with? If you would've just let it alone it would've healed up on it's own but, you had to pick at it. Now, you have a gigantic problem on your face and it will take much longer to heal.

What if when we had a situation arise in our life such as depression, confusion, or fear and we chose to not bother it with what we think will help but, allowed God to simply take control. It seems that what we think will help consists of not really dealing with the problem in the first place. We watch more TV, we drown ourselves in the computer, we block out reality and we give up.

I truly believe that if we would stop trying to fix all of the problems ourselves, and take the issue to the Lord, we would not deal with major ups and downs. Most of our ups and downs are created by us anyway. I chose to not pray first, I chose to stay in my pj's all day, I chose to have a bad attitude, I chose to not get in the Word and find a scripture for what I was dealing with, I chose, I chose, I chose. We have a choice to make the problem a problem!

I want God to fix my life. I want God to make it all right. Will He? Of Course He will. We don't have to do it all alone but we do have to put it in His hands. How can He fix our life if we don't hand Him all of the broken pieces. You might have to do it continually, daily giving your issues to the Lord. I personally think that seems easier than staying defeated while drowning in your own sorrow.

I know this, that God's Word works and that He is listening to what we have to say and He has an answer and a solution for what we need. It's time we started trusting in right answers.
