Help With Problems

Someone out there needs to hear words of encouragement. There is somebody in the world that needs help. I have no idea of who or where you are, but I know you are there. I had a very strong feeling come over me today while praying. It was if God was telling me to go home and write something to help someone in need.

I believe that there is one solution for any problem a person can face. It is so simple, so easy, and anybody can do it. The answer for every problem is prayer! I have not had one single problem in my life that prayer didn't overcome.

You may not always get the answer you want. You may not always get the answer as soon as you want it. But, you will get an answer and your problem will be overcome. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, can turn every problem into a blessing.

There are a couple of things that we must keep in mind. In order for God to enter into our lives and help us out, we must do a few things. First of all, we have to invite him. Then we must must trust him and be willing to accept his will for our situation. This means that whatever happens will be the best thing for us in the long run. It doesn't necessarily mean that we will get exactly what we want when we want it.

I have found many times over the years that His will took me a different direction than the one I wanted to go. Sometimes the direction he took me seemed to be in complete opposition to what I had in mind. The fact is that each and every time this has happened, the end result has been much better than I could ever have imagined. Don't be afraid to follow the path that he places you on.

If you are hurting, if you have a problem, if you are in trouble, take it to Jesus. Get down on your knees, confess your sins, and invite him into your life. Ask Him to take control of your life, your situation, and help you to believe. What do you have to lose?
