Self Help?

When we have problems or have experienced a trauma, many times we try to fix it ourselves. We try to drown our sorrows in alcohol, or put on a happy face and stuff our feelings inside. Neither one of these methods works because we not only wake up with a headache, but eventually explode from all of the emotions we have stuffed.

Giving up control of our problems is not easy when it is the norm to control everything in our lives. But the answer to true relief or healing is to take it and leave it with God. His plan is always the best. We need to give up our will and accept God’s perfect will for our lives.

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

I Peter 5:6,7  NKJV
