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.
