SEEK HIM

I was sharing with some friends today, and we were talking about how you might be living but feel so low, you know? Waking up thankful for another day but see the stagnancy in your life and wonder, what you are doing. Of what benefit is the job you're doing, besides the income of course. You think of your age mates, colleagues, friends, relatives, and start comparing, what are you not doing right since they seem to be progressing and you try but seem to be on hold.

I have heard people saying they're tired of their lives, they want to give up. They think dying is their next option, probably the only solution, a rest from everything for good, you know? I listen and I think of myself too, think of when many times I've wanted to give up. Does it get to this? Maybe it's not about suicide, it's just the thought of resting in peace and not waking up again. It could be a solution, but have I exhausted every option? 

Sometimes we're too drained to pray, you know, to read the Word. Other times we're too guilty, too ill to do anything or in pain maybe lost a loved one. Life happens. As humans, we can go through quite a lot in just 24 hours. So we think, well if God has let this happen, why should I talk to Him about it? 

Now that's where my brethren come in, people to stand with my at my weakest. So I ask them to pray with me, for me, because of me. [James 5:16]  The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. As they do it, I pray. Might be uttering a sentence and not having the strength to continue but again, I pray. I could say the Lord's prayer. I could ask God to hear me, heed my cry to Him, of course I give my thanksgiving to Him while at it. 

My point? Before giving up, share with a friend or a spiritual leader, or a counselor, or a therapy group. While at it, pray, pray, pray without seizing. Ask God to show you the way out, to strengthen you because you might be weak. Ask our Maker to give you His peace and to turn your life around. If you search for God, He will be found and He will answer you.

Don't give up yet. Tomorrow is full of the unexpected. It shall get better.

[Psalm 32:8]  [Jer 32:27]  [Prov 16:3]

So now, what if.... I talk to God. God doesn't share my secrets, I just tell Him and He listens. Okay. But how does He talk back? I ask. Well, He has written everything I need to hear from Him in the Bible. If I take a Bible, how do I know where I will get that Word speaking to the current situation? 

While praying, I will get a Word spoken to me. If not that, God will send someone to speak to me the issues I just raised. Okay, so do I wait for someone to just approach me and start talking or what happens? Well, God is a God of order, He will make it work.
