Too often we go to God in prayer only to walk away with the notion to attempt to “fix” things on our own. We ask God for answers, for help, but decide that we must “help” Him help us. We attempt to insert ourselves in every way possible to resolve the matter at hand, but without the answer, we sought from The Lord.
What is the point of going to God, seeking Him for guidance, answers, and support, if we are going to walk away leaning only on our self and our limited wisdom? Why spend time laying and crying out before the Lord, if we care not to hear and listen to the response, He has for us? Why walk around in trouble, despair, and turmoil, when we can cast our cares upon Him and receive what we need from Him to move us forward?
If He is going to listen to you and your heart’s cry about what troubles you, about what is keeping you up at night, then it is only right to listen to that small still voice in the wind that comes to comfort you and provide you the wisdom to carry on.
Take the time to pour your heart out to The Lord, but more importantly, take time to allow the Father to pour back into you. Let Him fill you with what you need to carry on…to move forward. There is no need to try to do life alone.
