The Road Seems Long & Lonely!

I don’t believe any of us are exempt from dealing with obstacles and personal situations in this life.  It doesn’t matter the type because these bumps or mountains can range from being in relationships, beginning relationships, and ending relationships to everything else including but not always involving, mental, social, financial, religious and economic struggles.  So, understand this, everybody deals with something and it depends on the effect the situation has on us.  Some of us face the problem straight up, some find buffers to handle it, and some try to avoid the problem completely.  What could have been handled immediately now festers and becomes a major issue that usually requires outside help because we couldn’t deal with it.  In turn, we put the stress on the people that are close to us and if they can’t help, they are wrong and don’t care.  The pot is now calling the kettle a pitcher.  We don’t realize that the people we ask to help and can’t at the time just might be going through their own struggles, too.  We’re so caught up that we become selfish dealing with our needs caused usually by our own actions that we neglect to think that we are not the only ones struggling.  We all have good days and better days.  Sometimes the very thing we hold so close and dear is the first thing that we lose.  Our priorities can be attached to the wrong things.  We have to learn to look at life in a more positive view.  We need help to get us there.  When all else fails, we call on the Lord and if the help doesn’t come in a timely manner, we’re disappointed.  Keep in mind, we don’t usually think about God when everything seems to be running smoothly.  We think that we don’t need Him and when we do He’s the last resort.  We could always blame Him for these problems.  And what have we learned?  Maybe God doesn’t like us treating Him like a statute.  Maybe He doesn’t appreciate being the third wheel.  Maybe, He’s around us all of the time and don’t like being ignored.  I believe that God wants us to develop a relationship with Him and get Him involved in our lives in everything that we do.  I believe that He is always there for us but if we think negative all of the time we fail to see the positive and good in what we do.  He wants us to know that even if we feel lonely, we are never alone.  Don’t give in or up to despair or discouragement.  Wait on the Lord!  Trust Him!  Let Him work His Will for us!  It’s all about our attitude.  I won’t push my beliefs on anyone.  I struggle, too.  But, I always got through.  I know how I got through and who helped me get through it.  Do you?  Talk to Him, He will work you and He’ll work it out for you!
