Prayer should be the first step to everything. We have to Ask the Lord to go before us, everywhere we go, and in everything we do. Then we have to have faith that he will! I am going through so much right now. But still, because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Almighty! The First! the Last! King of everything! I still want to help people. And he is the only reason.
It would be easy for me to stay in my bedroom and never come out, It might even feel like heaven for a short while. But God put us all here to interact with each other and we all have a purpose, no matter how small. One nice "Good Morning", or "How are You?" could actually save a life. You laugh, but it could. So many people these days are depressed. Some are depressed over Tragedy like the death of a loved one. Some people are depressed over money woes. Some are just depressed and don't know why. I have been all three, and several times in my life. But it will and always does get better! Life is hard and that's all there is to it.
People these days are so pampered, and we get so down over the silliest things. A teenager wants to kill herself because you took her cell phone away. Or a moderately wealthy woman gets a flat tire and she thinks the sky is falling. I just shake my head. This is not what the Lord intended! We have too many things and make them more important than anything.I am not pointing fingers. I am guilty of some "frivolous depression" in my life as well. Of which I will not disclose because it's just too embarrassing in hindsight, I imagine we all are. But these "things" we want so bad, are not needs, they are wants! We all need to remember that.
Our Family's and Friends are what is important. Loving our Neighbors! Prayer has got to come to the forefront in people's lives. Our Faith has to come first! If it doesn't we will keep running around in circles for the rest of our lives. Forgetting our Savior when things are going good, and Praying when things are bad, like the inmate turning to the Lord as soon as he's found guilty. If he had had the Lord in the first place, he wouldn't have been on trial because he wouldn't have committed that felony! And I wouldn't be where I'm at now, if I had just let the Lord run my life! Or would I? I ask myself these crazy questions all the time. Did the Lord allow these struggles in my life, to mold me into the person I am today. Well, probably, and maybe I am wrong about the Felon. Maybe he was meant to go to jail. His purpose was there. We never know what God is thinking. But I hope he's thinking that I am on the right path.
God Bless you all! Thank you Jesus!
