A
relationship with God is a prerequisite to being “With
God.” In a nutshell, all you need to do is interact
with God daily. Talk to Him and allow Him to talk to
you. Open yourself to His wisdom and guidance. Give
Him all of you, don’t hold back anything, and
I can guarantee that you will be “With God.”
You
may be thinking, that’s easier said than done,
but if we’re being real, we have to admit that
we do whatever we really want to do. You will have to
rearrange your priorities.
God
must be first, this is not negotiable. He’s not
going to demand that position, but if you fail to put
Him first, you have settled for less.
Now
let’s consider that “All things are possible.”
Come on brothers and sisters in Christ, you must know
that lining yourself up with His will is the key. His
will governs His favor. There are no shortcuts to living
for Jesus, and you cannot escape the growing pains.
Sometimes
depending on the severity of the test you’re facing,
you may loose your mind for a second and expect God
to follow your instructions.
Allow
me to share an important fact with you that you may
need to stamp on your forehead, “God is Sovereign.”
This means, He’s not a puppet. He’s not
standing by awaiting your orders, and He hasn’t
solicited your advice. So just trust Him, He’s
well able.
Doubt
and fear can rob single parents of their peace of mind.
They have been very instrumental in the breakdown of
families. Ask God for faith to help you remember the
promises in His word. Spend time in prayer and use God’s
word to back up your petition to Him. He sees and knows
the struggles you face, and the hopelessness you feel
when it seems there’s no relief in sight. He is
touched with the feelings of your infirmities. He will
never turn His back on you, so lean all the way back.
