God will make a way where there seems to be no way.

When You Can’t Figure It Out 

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in your weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
There are unpleasant times and as humans we don’t like to be out of control, the Lord loves it when His children lean on Him in holy desperation. Often, it’s only then we understand that it’s “not by our own might and not by power” (Zechariah 4:6) that we can make it through our deepest trials. It’s then that God shines the most brightly because He gets all the glory when we can’t and He does. 
When we can’t figure things out on our own, that’s when our cloak of self-sufficiency can be stripped away, and we can wear His mantle of joy. When we allow Him to take our problems and even our ideas of what we believe our life should be, our burdens are lifted, and we can closely feel our Savior’s love. That’s when Jesus gets all the glory! 
My growing desire is that I always turn to Jesus, not just when I can’t figure something out, not just when I run out of my own good ideas, advice from others or Google, or instructive YouTube videos. I want to live in constant communion with the Savior who loves me and seek answers from Him first. When there's no one to call, when there's no one to talk to, just talk to Him and be sure he's listening (have faith), and he will hear you. Though it may seem as if he's not listening but trust me he is, he hears every of our heart cry, you just need to be able to discern his voice when he speaks to you likewise.

Will you join me in relying on Jesus for your life’s direction? Will you talk with Him about your struggles? Will you invite Him into your day and maintain a continual conversation with Him? Will you ask Him what you need to do before you try to figure it out on your own? Will you lay down your ideas of what you believe your life should be like and trust Him for guidance? Will you trust him even if it seems the whole world is against you and everything around you is crumbling?

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday”
(Psalm 37:5-6).

PRAYER 
Lord help me to ask you for help first and patiently wait on you for answers in Jesus name. Amen.

TRANSFORMATION

Lord Jesus, I want to become the best version of myself, I want to know you more, I want to do your will and I want to be a carrier of your glory. But I can't seem to make them happen, I can't seem to actualize them. My strength fails me, I want to but I can't. The passion to seek you is gone, and the desire is slowly fading away. Psalm 51.  You're in awe...are you still the same person who was so enthusiastic about the things of God? You begin to doubt the authenticity of who you are in Christ. Where am I? What am I? Why am I like this? The devil gradually begins to invade your thoughts and makes you feel worthless.  You allow it because you tell yourself what else can I do? I have tried, I have prayed, I have fasted, but it's still the same. It keeps on going in cycles; I keep rising and falling, there is no result in it.  You comfort yourself and say, "What will be will be?"Does God not see all of these things and watch me wallow in this sit...

Faith

What is faith? Faith as according to the bible is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)". Faith is putting our complete trust in God believing he will help us in whatever we have involved him.  Faith comes before a prayer is answered or before an individual has received what he or she has requested from God. If we have received what we asked for, then faith is not needed. So it comes by making your request known to God and trusting him to fulfil that request. An example of this definition is found in Matthew 9:27-30 where two blind men came to Jesus and asked Him to heal them. Jesus first asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” and their reply was, “Yes, Lord.” “Then He touched their eyes saying, According to your faith let it be to you. And their eyes were opened.” Their faith and assurance that Jesus could give them sight was the substance or reality they hoped for. It also gave them the evidence or trust that th...

God is with you

This is relatable to the story of Job. Job 13 says: “Though he slay me, I will hope in him.”  No one and nothing can steal your joy or your peace when your hope is in God.  Never lose your hope in God! Lessons learnt  * Even in the midst of God’s silence, His presence is with us. Job wrestled and wrestled with God’s silence in the midst of his suffering.  Over 25 times he asked the question “why?” and he continually asked for the opportunity to defend his case before God.  * Wisdom comes from fearing God and turning away from evil. * Humility is key.  Pride can interfere with us following the wise ways of the Lord. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding. * God is with us in the midst of our storms. The Lord is our good shepherd and He never leaves our side.  He walks with us through the valleys.  He restores our soul when we are weary.   He leads us to the path of righteousness when we h...
