Why is it, that most of the time, when we are overwhelmed by some trial, the Lord is the last person we go to? It's nice to have family and friends close, that you can talk to, about the problems; but yet they will never be able to provide the wisdom, and the comfort, like the Lord can. When people come to us with their problems, we may not have the right words. We may not know what to say. There are times we say things that we didn't intend, and end up hurting more than helping. The first person that people should go to is the Lord. Just make the time, to do as Psalm 46:10 says: "Be still and know that I am God." Make time to read God's Word. Look up Scriptures that pertain closely to your trial, and make time to pour out your heart to God if necessary. In your quiet time with God, let Him embrace your heart with His presence and peace. To say: "Lord, I just can't deal with this by myself. Please help me to be patient. Help me to find peace, as I wait for you to work things out for my good (Romans 8:28) as you promised." The reaction of many is to fall apart when confronted with the sharpness of a trial's edge. What would take the sharpness away, is a time of communion with God, allowing Him to "Be God" and know that in His time, and in His way, He will direct our paths, and deliver us! Let's take advantage of this precious privilege today! GP
