Too many times, I hear people pleading to God for help when they are facing distress. When everything was flowing smoothly, I didn’t even hear God’s name being mentioned. But I have learned that it’s not the way prayer works. God is a loving, merciful, and forgiving Lord. He cares very deeply about us but He also wants to see how much do we care about Him. We don’t take the time to appreciate the many blessings He gives us because we don’t take the time to serve Him, visit Him, or thank Him. When everything is fine we think that we’re doing all of this by ourselves. Oh, but when the dirt hits the fan, who do we call for help? Now we remember! Even when we do call on Him, we are still doing it half-heartedly. That’s right, why change now? Well, it doesn’t work that way. Do you deal with fakes, phonies, or wannabes? One thing about God is His consistency. He is always the same any day, any time. We’re the ones that need to change. Old habits are hard to break, so let us all try to form better habits. Let’s go to His House and praise Him. Let’s treat our brothers and sisters like we want to be treated. Let’s tell Him thanks for the many blessings we have. We might not be millionaires but we still have our breath, senses, and limbs. Everything else is gravy. Let’s pray more and complain less. It’s worth a try, you have to try. God bless you!
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
