Why are we so hard on ourselves?
I few weeks ago a fellow brother in Christ shared his thoughts with us. All us christians know how important it is to pray. Everyting can be done in prayer. God wants nothing more than for you to cast your cares on Him, so that He can take them away. But then why do we so often come up to Him, show Him all our cares and problems, and instead of leaving them there at His feet, we take them right back with us. We are then not only making it hard on ourselves, but also on Him. He can't take away our cares if we want to keep them with us.
If we truly want God to take care of us, then we must let Him, totally. It is easier said than done, but it's the only way. Let Him take over! Do not doubt.
James 1:5, 6
If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking. 6 But when you ask for something, you must have faith and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like an ocean wave tossed around in a storm.
Matthew 21:21,22
But Jesus said to them, “If you have faith and don't doubt, I promise that you can do what I did to this tree. And you will be able to do even more. You can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. 22 If you have faith when you pray, you will be given. whatever you ask for.”
