Perhaps we should devote some time to this. Maybe we should study every possible resource, beginning with *GOD*, and working through some known expert advice. We don't have much to lose, and for sure, there just MIGHT be something that clicks, that helps, that points us in a better direction...
IF we are people of FAITH, our FIRST step IS to RELY upon THE LORD, WHILE PRAYING to HIM, and remaining PATIENT for HIS answers, and assistance, as well as keeping it real in expectation, in that, sometimes HIS WILL is not on the same track as what we want, or need....
When we are worried, we NEED to PRAY; when we are stressed, we NEED to PRAY; when we are hungry, homeless, downtrodden, discouraged, or whatever negative of the world is eating away at us, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! This not only places HIM first, it aids in OVERCOMING the bonds of negativity, that keep us in the same place, or even worse off, because the evil one is delighted by our inability to work through problems, troubles, and when we are stagnated, or enmeshed by them. PRAY WITH ALL YOUR HEART, with tears, with PURE release; HE is our SAVIOUR, strength, fortress, rock, and our sure, and present help! PRAY WITH FAITH, not waveringly!!!
Next, we move FORWARD, WITH TRUST in HIM, and an open mind as we approach the circumstances of our lives! We become PROACTIVE in FAITH, BY beginning the process towards realizing answers to our PRAYERS!!!
We have some lessons to LEARN about being content with our present situations! It is TO OUR ADVANTAGE to be FREED from the negatives that CAN take us down, make us ill, and remove us from HIS GRACE! I am a FIRM believer in the FACT that things could be worse, MUCH worse, and so, I AM GRATEFUL, at ALL times!!!
I, like many, am in a boat without an engine, without oars, or other means, HOWEVER, I HAVE the STRENGTH of *GOD* to TEACH me, and SECURE me, and LEAD me! Not only that, I have learned to BE content with what I have, and to TRUST HIS WILL, so while I am not where I would like to be, I AM where I am BY THE LOVE, GRACE, and PROVISION OF THE LORD! Plus, HE HAS given me sense, sensibility, and other gifts for USING towards a better life; body, mind, and spirit! So, I am in this boat, drifting along, sometimes using my hands as power, sometimes my legs, sometimes, just going with the waves! If I don't have a destination in mind to begin with, what point is there for me to expend the energy of powering the boat? I HAVE to make a decision, then some alternate decisions, premised on REALITY, then work TOWARDS these decisions, WHILE TRUSTING THE LORD, and PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING, one arm stroke, or one leg kick at a time!!!
We are NEVER at the end, until we no longer exist! It is NEVER too late to recreate! The FAITHFUL ARE empowered, and enabled, we only need to STAND STRONG, and be PROACTIVE! We need to read THE WORD, and remind ourselves of HIM in ANY given situation, because there IS plenty of HIS advice, instruction, guidance, and direction throughout THE WORD!!!
Read MATTHEW 6: 24-34, and LUKE 12: 22-34, and meditate upon HIS WISDOM in these matters! USE THE SCRIPTURES to heal, restore, resolve, motivate, inspire, and fuel!!!
I have a great book about it NEVER being too late, unless you don't start today, but at the moment, it is evading my sight, so, when I locate it, I will share some of the valuable lessons therein, as well as other expert advice, encouragement, and usable applications to making life better...
HANG TOUGH, BELIEVE and RECEIVE, TRUST THE LORD, PRAY, PRAISE, WORSHIP, BE THANKFUL, BE GRATEFUL, and REJOICE for HE IS NEAR! And ALWAYS SEEK HIM, and HIS bounties, BLESSINGS, and beauty in the hours of the day; they ARE everywhere, and AID us in safe, and happier passage to shore:))) MUCH LOVE, *GOD* BLESS, and BE WITH US ALL, and may we HONOUR HIM in ROCK SOLID FAITH, GOODNESS, and LOVE!!!
