It’s Tough Finding God Sometimes, But He’s There

Wow….just learned a friend of a friend has got arrested for driving under the influence…it was prescription drugs of all things….The woman was a nurse, and her license was suspended and now she is concerned about her professional license being taken away as well….when it rains it pours…

After talking with my buddy he revealed that she had gone through a difficult divorce and then developed some “back issues” that needed to be treated….she sunk into a deep depression to make matters worse….he states that the woman was actually “washing down” the pain killers with wine….ouch!

Further information revealed that she was so distraught over her marriage break-up, that she started neglecting the kids, who were now acting out in school…

Our lives can change in a moment at times….from marriage struggles, to finances, to some health issues, you name it, and life comes at you..

People ask me where is God in some of these “messes”, and I tell them right there besides you……this is truly a fallen world, and far from a paradise…when I think how Christ wasn’t even spared from it as they beat him unmercifully and nailed him to a cross….tough way to go out..

But the one thing he promised was that he will never leave us or forsake us, and he usually gives us only what we can cope with……Faith is really tested during tough times…..and sometimes it’s the “eleventh” hour when God shows up…

The main thing you want to do is to keep on praying…don’t take matters into your own hands…but turn “everything” over to God….if you are struggling with a current addiction, then surrender it to God….say, “hey you know what, I can’t do this on my own, I really need some spiritual intervention”

Get a good bible, and start reading it….turn off some of that “junk” on the television…and get reading the best ”help book” in the world…it’s the only book ever written that has withstood the test of time….

Don’t give up…your moment of victory could be so close…now’s not the time to throw in the towel…God is there for you….reach out and pray.
