Ask and Trust

"You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God." -James 4:2 (NIV)
There's a lot of fighting in the world.  We often see it on the news.  We may experience it in our lives.  Many ask what can be done to stop the violence and fighting we witness and experience.  The best answer is to turn to God!

While the initial intention may not be to harm anyone, ego and desire can take control, driving people to hurt others.  Whenever we are witnessing or experiencing such desires, we need to remain calm and call on God.  We need to ask God and we need to be patient and trust in His wisdom.  God will answer our prayers, but may not answer them in the time and way we want.  We can learn to be satisfied in what God provides in our lives and we can reach out and help others do the same.  By asking God to control our desires and provide for us, we can avoid fighting, quarreling, and killing!

Don't fight, quarrel, and kill.  Instead, ask God and be satisfied by trusting in His wisdom!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and protecting me.  Help me to always remember to ask You, trust Your wisdom, and avoid fights that are spurred by my earthly desires.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
