Whether living with or working with children and young adults, we know that they are not always willing to listen to the lessons and advice that we may try to offer. Even though they may not seem like they are listening, there are points when everyone realizes the need for some help. In our spiritual journey, we are also children...and sometimes we don't listen to God!
God allows us to be free to make our own choices. He also knows that we will not always make the right choice. Even when we do not listen to God, He never abandons us. We can also call on Him and return to Him to find His guidance, "advice," and plan for our lives. When we realize we need help, God is ready. We just need to call on Him, seek Him, and willingly wait and listen to the answers that He provides!
When you need help, call on God, pray, and wait for His answer!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being near. Help me to recognize that I need Your help and prepare my heart to listen to Your answers. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
