I was listening to a sermon about Knowing God's will for Your life. The pastor preaching is Jimmy Evans.
In this sermon towards the end he says something that makes me think of something I tell the kids I work with. What he said was it will never be right between you and God until you include him in everything. (My words, not his. I don't remember the exact words.)
That made me think of something I tell the kids at work if something has happend or they are upset. Some comes running almost yelling "Nilla, you gotta come.. " But others doesn't want to talk. Then I say "If I'm going to be able to help you, you need to tell me what's wrong." Often that will help them to talk. Because they know that I want to help, even though I sometimes have to say that what they did wasn't right either.
What I'm trying to say here is that we need to ask God for help. We need to include him in every part of our lives, not just a fraction here or there. If He is going to be able to guide me and help me, I need to set my pride aside and say "God, help me."
I'm far from perfect and this is something I need to work at a lot. But as they say, they first step is to admitt you have a problem.
God loves you, never ever forget that or let anyone tell you differently!
