When situations go wrong, or as we
think they are going wrong; and when our reactions (even prayerful reactions)
seem not to help - we wonder if God is in control, we question why we have to
face this, we go down and take one rash decision.
In such situations what do we do? Is
there a definitive answer?
Just a few points:
1. God is in control. Even if we don’t
feel He is active, He is there. Remember His promise, that He will never leave
us and that all authority is with Him.
2. Then why does everything go wrong?
No one can judge, is it that God is correcting us or maybe asking us to stop
and react.
3. Or, it maybe that it is a small
cliff test, be still and patient - & God will take us through. Immediate
reaction leads to a fall (which leads to immediate fatality, but God heals, and
the process takes time). Just remaining patient, non-reaction, not speaking,
not replying helps. And, this would be better.
4. He has the power to restore always.
So, trust Him with your life.
5. Pray and tell Him that He alone is
the father & your best friend. Ask Him as a friend for help.
Sit down, or probably go out and talk
to your Lord, and tell out everything and hear His response.
Personally, i just go out for a walk,
just anywhere and talk. We can read some verses also if you want along the way,
but don’t direct the Spirit, let it direct you.
6. There are some problems and issues
which are there because of our failure in a cliff test. Here, everyday there is
a struggle and doubt and tension till the final restoration is done. Here also,
talk to Him. He will help you get back to health, as this is a slow process.
7. Forgive all, and love all.
Importantly, forgive yourself because He forgave and Love yourself because He
loves u. Then, the entire system will be connected.
8. Lastly, have good trustworthy
friends in Church whom you can tell it all (say at least 90% of the thing) and
pray.
