The Problems of Life

The problems of life can easily make you grow weary. Life can be overwhelming, moving fast with new threats and problems coming suddenly. The stress increases. The anxiety becomes too much. What must you do? Some simply resign to the problems of life feeling so helpless. That's when you become weary.

God never intended for you to live without His help. He offers Himself as your helper. When you become weary in this life, it's time to discover the reality of God as your helper. Trust Him as your helper. Then, you can truly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear (Hebrews 13:6). 

You may ask, Will God help me? Ask the Lord to help you, according to His word. God wants you to trust Him. You were made by God and for God. You were made to depend upon God, trusting in His name. The problems of life may cause you to discover that you need God's help. And yes, God will help you.

Pride says that you need nobody to help you, not even God. Pride wants you to think that you don't need God. Humility readily admits a need for God now and always. Pride will never seek God's help. Pride wants to boast, saying, I did it my way. Humility, to the contrary, says, I surrender to God's way. Then, the Lord is your helper.
