Way to Fail...NOT!

Have you ever had a day where everything went wrong?

• Got up late

• Didn’t have a quiet time with God...not enough time

• Dog has an accident before he could go outside

• Kids giving you a hard time about getting ready for school

• Finally you get to work...late...

You all know what I’m talking about...then you go through the day trying to catch up not asking God to help, not even thinking about our heavenly Father. Why do we do this? The scripture says:

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

If we just stop take a step back and ask God to take control..He will and then we have someone walking us through this messed up day, however we don’t ask for God’s help. Why do we have a hard time with this? I’ve heard all the excuses before...He’s too busy with big issues to care about my bad day; I’m not important enough for Him to help me. How wrong we are...He cares about every detail of our life. The scripture says:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13

Does this sound like a God who doesn’t care or is too busy for you and me? I don’t think so. Well, I had a day similar to the one I mentioned above. I didn’t ask God to help me and I just let life happen and I paid the price. Instead of going to God for comfort I went to food. I know, I know, Way to Fail...WAIT; I’m a child of God! I can’t fail because He loves me I only had a minor setback. The scripture says:

16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again... Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)

All I have to do is ask God for forgiveness, get up, brush myself off and say “Here I am Lord, what do you need me to do next.” God does care even when we have a bad day, we just need to ask Him to walk it with us.

God Bless
