In trouble? Have trouble? Expecting trouble?

“…. Now that he was in trouble, he went to his knees in prayer asking for help—total repentance before the God of his ancestors. As he prayed, God was touched; God listened and brought him back to Jerusalem as king…” +2 Chronicles 33:11-13 (MSG)

In trouble?  Have trouble?  Expecting trouble?  

Yes?

Then drop to your knees, stretch out your arms, repent before God, receive his forgiveness, and let him take your life over.  The darkness of sin will soon lift, the light will shine through, and the path of victory will once again open up wide and straight for you. 

My friend, God forgives you!  All you have to do is receive it from him.

Leadership

"David consulted... Then David addressed...". "David prayed to God... God answered..." 

(1 Chronicles 13-14; 1 Chronicles 14:10)

David was one of the greatest God-fearing leaders in the bible, and we need more men and women like him.  So, why don't we follow suit and start seeking wise counsel before deciding human fate and praying to God before stepping out and trying to fight battles that probably don't need to be fought?  I think a lot less lives would be ruined and people would start standing together as one again.

The answer will come

“Then David prayed to God… The answer came…” 1 Samuel 30:8 MSG

Want right answers?  Pray to God – your answer will assuredly come.  In addition, those answer will be ones that you can confidently listen to, follow, and count on – no questions necessary.

And Jesus prayed

“And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do…” Luke 23:24 AMP

Jesus loves all of us so much; in the midst of extreme torment from the world, He prayed forgiveness for the world.  WOW!! How can we not love Him, and how can we not want to give our lives to Him?

My friend, Jesus loves you so much! No matter how bad the world says you are, Jesus loves you in spite of it all - there is nothing you can do that will make Him turn His back on you.  So, let Him take care of you, let Him take care of your life, and let Him lead you into eternal paradise.
