Lies I Hear

It's seems too often these days when I pray and ask God for help, or just want a closer relationship with Him. But the seeming problem is that shortly after, there's all these's issues that pop up like disunity within the team, or be believing lies that I haven't heard or dealt with since Childhood.

Some people may think "See, that's why I don't pray to God, He just wants to hurt us" When my personal belief is that those painful times are opportunities to give to God the exact things that are hindering Gods help or a closer relationship. Turns out that when we pray, God can answer that prayer any way He deems fit. Who knew? :)

So next time your angry because of circumstances, ask yourself, "Is this an answer to prayer?" And talking to God about it. What familliar option would you typically choose?

1) Eating

2) Running away

3) Covering it up

4) Trying to be king over it
