Praise the Lord
I want to ask each of you, who is your helper at times of trouble or anxiety? I am sure we would say I seek help from my family members, from my friends, my neighbours etc. I do too. But I keep wondering why do I wait till the last minute to seek help from the almighty?
It is true, I don't think it's just me, But I am admitting to the fact that I at times go to the Lord as my last option rather than my first. I wonder later, why didn't I do this right at the beginning?
Sometimes what happens is when you are surrounded by God's love and presence and when out of no where there is an obstacle we stumble, we become blank and in my case my hands immediately dial my friend's numbers who are believers and sometimes they would be busy and not in a position to help us out and we would feel all blue and upset. After all this we call out to Jesus. Duh! I find myself in this position many times. It's silly isn't it? Do you recall this verse "There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."(Proverbs 18:24)
We might have friends who are there by our side 24*7, but I can guarantee you that no friend can be as PERFECT as Jesus is. He is truly a friend who sticks by us no matter what we do. He will not stay silent just because you came to him as a last option.
Some of you might ask , "if you say the Lord won't feel bad if we go to him in the end, then why are you writing that we should go to him first"? The answer to this is very simple and logical. If you are a best friend to somebody, wouldn't you expect your friend to share their joy and happiness and even worries with you? It is the same, Jesus is never going to force you but I think we can make him happy by doing so.
I have decided to try my best and put it into practice to run to the Lord first and seek help from him.
Keep this verse in your heart at all times. Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Phillippianns 4:6) Let us all try to put this scripture in to practice from today? Even if we fail a number times let us not give up till we get this accomplished. For Jesus!
Precious people of God say this prayer today and see God work wonders in your life: Father in heaven, Thank you for being our friend at all times, no matter what the situation is, no matter how much we fight or argue with you, your always there to remind us you are gentle and kind. What a friend we have in you Jesus and we thank you Lord for your acceptance. Father I pray that you help us to come to you at all times. In good times and bad help us to know that you are there in Jesus most precious name we pray. Amen!
Note: The bible is full of God's promises to his people. I would like to encourage you to read such verses and strength your faith.
Blessings Tina
