Livin' the life...

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

These were the kind words recited to me as I wrestled with a couple of testing situations headed my way. None of which I seemed to have much, if any control over.

In situations such as these, it's so easy to get anxious, to worry, wonder why, and even if it gets extreme, just pause and laugh at how daunting things may appear (I must admit, I've laughed many-a-time). But in these situations, it is so very crucial that we grab hold of our faith and remember that, "all things work together for good to those who love God". No matter how bad or complex that situation seems, trust Him, pray to Him, and ask that His will be done (I consider all these things indications of "loving").

My situations are still impending, but I intend to follow my advice. In this week, if you're in the brink of frustration, anxiety, worry, or laughing at how daunting things seem, retreat to a silent place and say a quick prayer to the God you love. He's always listening.

Have a good one!
