Sometimes, amid the demands and the frustrations of everyday life, we forget to slow ourselves down long enough to talk with God. Instead of turning our thoughts and prayers to Him, we rely upon our own resources. Instead of praying for strength and courage, we seek to manufacture it within ourselves. Instead of asking God for guidance, we depend only upon our own limited wisdom. The results of such behaviors are unfortunate and, on occasion, tragic. Are you in need? Ask God to sustain you. Are you troubled? Take your worries to Him in prayer. Are you weary? Seek God’s strength. In all things great and small, seek God’s wisdom and His grace. He hears our prayers, and He will answer. All we must do is ask! When we have questions or fears let us turn to Him. When we are weak, let us seek His strength. When we are discouraged, let us be mindful of His love and His grace. In all things, today and forever let us seek His will and His way. — 1 Chronicles 5:20
