Do We Really Want Help?

There are so many people suffering from traumatic events in their lives, seeking for solace, peace and understanding. When we seek God’s word, He provides it all. But, there are some who reject wanting things to change in their lives, and only want sympathy. I listened to a woman, who had a radio program, and she stated when someone called her with a problem, she asked if they wanted to solve it or talk about it forever. She didn’t have time to just talk, but was willing to help in any way that would lead to a solution.

When we feel like we are praying and praying and not getting an answer, are we actually doing what God wants us to do, or just talking to Him about our problems all of the time? God wants us to obey His word and take action. He will do the rest, because He is faithful. And if we ask Him why He hasn’t answered us, He will let us know exactly the reason. It may be as simple as having patience.

“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.”

Proverbs 12:25  NKJV

“And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, ‘If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.’ But Jesus turned around and when He saw her He said, ‘Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And the woman was made well from that hour.”  Matthew 9:20-22  NKJV
