Are You Overwhelmed?

Do you have any decisions you need to make?  Are you surrounded by options that all look good?  Which one do you choose?

Are you struggling with a relationship in your life?  You don't know what to do?   What to say?

Do you ever feel overwhelmed?  I sometimes do.  Everything is moving and changing so quickly...and its all just going to get faster.  If you've been on this planet as many revolutions as I have, it's extremely tough to keep up.  I'll admit it - I can use all the help I can get.

I'm sure King Solomon felt this way as he was talking to God in 1 Kings 3: 9, "So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong."  

God honored that request by making Solomon the wisest man who has ever lived.

Whenever I think about all the decision-making help I need to navigate this world, I am reminded that God tells me at the beginning of the book of James that he wants to give me a generous amount of wisdom.  I just need to ask for it.

So one of my regular prayers is asking for wisdom.  Whenever I feel the twists of concern in my stomach or find myself in the middle of conflict or a difficult situation, I know where I can get  wisdom for this situation.  God has promised he will give me plenty.

And he has.  God is always faithful.  But it's not a magic button and 'poof' I have the answer or my issue is resolved.  God speaks to me through his Word and gives me direction.  I have to listen to him and do what he says.  Then I see how he is guiding me in the right direction and giving me wisdom - step by step.

I needed a boatload of wisdom when the worst thing that can happen to a parent happened to me.  My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty on May 19, 2016.  My world exploded into a million painful pieces.  Its been a long and tough road of moving forward from that tragedy to find hope again, find purpose again.  If you are interested to know more about my journey, I recently published a book on Amazon, "Then I Looked Up: Losing a Child, Finding His Legacy of Love.'

 Do you have choices you need to make?  Plans?  Relationship issues that need to be addressed in the right way?

God has generous amounts of wisdom he is waiting to give you.  Ask for it as you open your eyes and heart to him and his Word.  You'll find it.

This is a prayer that God always answers with a 'yes'.
