Temptations, trials and tribulations are on every
side. There are patterns and more patterns, things seen and unseen. Questions, always
whispering ever so low, “Why am I the way that I am? Why did God make and shape
me into the human being that I am? Why is my life the way that it is?”
Always in our walk through life there are these
things. Even in the most devout Christian life there are times when we just
want to run away, not stop, not look back and never even think about coming
back to face what is going on in our lives.
For a Christian this should be an untrue statement.
None of our life should be lived for ourselves. We have given our lives over to
the most awesome living God, and through His Son, Jesus Christ, all things are
possible.
What must be remembered is that when praying and
asking for something, God’s will should always be put first. Putting God’s will
first is the hardest to do when our children are what we are praying about,
especially if the very spark of that child’s life is slowly being eaten away by
cancer; or being consumed with a love for alcohol or drugs.
What should be, must be remembered is even when God
says no to our prayers, God loves us and He has a plan.
We may stumble and turn away momentarily, but God
never does.
His shoulder always bears the cross.
We must simply remember to look and to see who is
holding our hand.
