Navigating Through Life

Where to turn? Who to listen to? And what should I do? These are all good questions that we often ask ourselves. They demonstrate a desire to improve and show that we are aware we could use some guidance. Praise the Lord! There is One whom we can go to for answers. He will be there in the best of times and the worst. The Spirit of God will never leave us, not even when His presence is hidden from our awareness. The ones who care will look for Him. They will trust in Him. He will be with us. Step forward. Go after the Lord. Get to know the Spirit of God. Life is a completely different place when the Holy Spirit is with us.

Dear Lord, give us perseverance and desire to go where few go these days. Let us press so close to You that Your Spirit can move in. Bring a sense of Your nearness so that we can hear Your council all the time. Show us where to place every thought and every footstep; we pray. Amen

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
