GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

Turn your questions over to the One who knows you best Should I Ask God for Help or Should I Do It On my Own?

As we contemplate decisions in our lives, what and when should we ask for our Heavenly Father's help?

The Proper Way to Ask God for Help!

• Don't ask when the answer is already given.
• Don't cheat on God!
• When we are challenged by the world's assault on our spirit, we should listen intently for God to answer us as we signal for His help.
• When we reach our goal (Mother in the "Mother, May I" game...and God in the game of life), we will know we have been successful in our journey to win the game.
  • Winning the game means we were not caught cheating and we asked every time we were told to move (Mother in the Mother, May I game).
  • Getting to the goal in our journey home as a Christian means we played by the rules and we humbled ourselves and asked for God's forgiveness when we didn't play by the rules.
  • Learn the imperatives of the Christian life as a "born again" child of God.
  • Listening and obeying, Reading and heeding, Hearing and doing...
  • Basically, all of the imperatives seem to move in the same direction.

Summary: Turn your questions over to the One who knows you best...and what is best for you!

Turn your fears, cares, and tears over to God, the Father.

Philippians 3:12-14, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
