The Christian Struggle

Its hard being transparent

and its also hard to call HIM

but how can someone help you

if they dont even know you've fallen?

So now we're staying quiet

like a dog covered with a muzzle

and we wonder why something's missing

like the PEACE without the puzzle

So aint no talkin to our friends

about our problems and our struggles

Because if they knew our weaknesses

then they may no longer love us

We have a problem with our friends

but we always say "We're cool"

So we tell them that we're praying for them

well....atleast we say we do.....

We're not focused on our FAM in CHRIST

and you know thats a no-no

One Body....Many Members

So why we claim we runnin solo??

That's why we're so low

we don't love each other no mo'

We supposed to be on the same team but we not

"no HOMO"

I aint talkin' sexual

let's talk about sex ya know?

the late night texts...leading to late night sex

leads to....well....

Im movin on to the next ya....

My family actin' crazy

so its hard to stay encouraged

I mean I love my fam ......

but they're not as blessed as yours!

I know I shouldn't compare

I'm not hating on your blessings

but I can't sleep at night because I wonder

when will he ever bless me?!

Its easy to say we trust God

and not trust HIM to know whats best

we all want a testimony

but don't want to study for the test

We say "Let go and Let God"....let him do the rest

SO ITS ABOUT THAT TIME THAT WE WALK WHAT WE PROFESS

Struggling with God's Will

Do you ever struggle with the concept of God's will? Do you ever wish things were spelled out a little more clearly for you? God has promised to lead and guide us, but he didn't promise specifics all the time. If you're serious about discovering God's will for your life, here are some things to think about.

* Read the stories of Abraham, Moses, Peter and other bible characters who discovered God's will for their lives in unexpected ways.

*Pray.....pray....and then pray some more. Stay in continuous contact with God. Learn to recognize his voice of his Spirit in your life.

*Talk to mature Christians about how they discovered God's will for their lives.

*Being in God's will has to do with who we are not always where we are. Commit yourself to honoring God in everything you do. If you'll make that commitment, you may be surprised at what he will accomplish through you.

*Take a step of faith! Volunteer for a ministry assignment that takes you out of your comfort zone. You may discover skills and interests you never knew you had. (example: I volunteered to record service one week and I ended up liking it and ultimately became a member of the Audio/Video Ministry)

A lot of us struggle with what God's will for our lives are, but once we find out what it is......waiting and seeking his face for the answer is WELL WORTH IT!

Be Blessed!
