Day 19



        Trust in God...                                                                              Matthew 6:25


        It’s no surprise that we can live in a difficult   fragile stone to stand on.
        world these days.  So many things can cause
        us to feel unsure of ourselves and also so can   Have you ever had a moment when a friend or
                                                    family member has let you down
                                                    at an important time?  I think we
                                                    all have at some point.  I certainly
                                                    have.  Maybe you’ve even been
                                                    the one doing the letting down.  It
                                                    doesn’t mean we, or our friends are
                                                    bad people.  Sometimes life just
                                                    gets in the way and some situations
                                                    are unavoidable.

                                                    Many times when I have felt on my
                                                    own or isolated from my friends, I
                                                    have taken a few moments to ask
                                                    God for help.  It’s a bit of a habit of
                                                    mine now.  One thing I can be sure
                                                    of is that he never turns me away or
                                                    ever gets tired of me asking him for
                                                    help.  He is that reliable,
                                                    To ask for help from God is
                                                    actually quite a test of your Faith.
                                                    You are literally trusting someone
                                                    you have never seen.  With this in
                                                    mind it can be confusing when the
                                                    answers to our questions are no.  If
                                                    God says no, then there is a reason
                                                    for it, like a parent, if your request
                                                    is not in your interest then it would
                                                    be wrong for him to say yes.  That
                                                    really then comes down to us.  Ask
                                                    yourself if you are being fair to God
                                                    in asking to help in your situation.
                                                    One thing I will always be sure of,
                                                    he hears every request and always
                                                    ensures that we can handle the
                                                    situations we are in.  But remember
                                                    that God answers in his time,
        people.  Unfortunately people can be very   not ours.  That is always right.  His timing is
        damaging to our self confidence.  Especially   always at the moment when you will get the
        when we value their opinions.  It can be a very   maximum benefit from his reply.  Read on...
