What do you do when you
cannot sense the presence of God?
When you cannot hear
the voice of God?
When you cannot get
confirmation?
When your mind is
racing or aloof and you just can’t focus?
When you try to pray
and you just can’t get a handle on the answer, as a matter of fact you forgot
the question?
There are times when you feel alone.
There are times when you are uncontrollably sad.
There are times when you feel depressed.
There are times when you feel abandoned.
There are times when you feel helpless.
If you are human, you
have gone through or are going through some of these responses to your
humanness.
Life isn’t always
mountain-top experiences.
You are not always
feeling happy and fulfilled.
There are valleys and
some of them seem more like crevices.
In these empty times -
and we all have them - You need to know how to deal with them so that
they don’t take you further than you want to go.
The way you deal with
each of these negative responses (in your mind) determines how much doubt can be
generated and how far that doubt can take you from your faith.
Your faith is fragile
and when you find yourself in these kind of negative predicaments, you need the
right tool to get out without harm.
When I say without harm
- It’s in these down times that you make foolish mistakes and say foolish
things.
It’s during these down
times that you turn to the flesh to see you through - because the flesh will go
along with you when things are down - the flesh will make you feel good when
things aren’t going right. Believe me
when I say - The flesh will go along with anything.
But in the flesh there
will be no satisfaction of any predicaments - and never any long term
satisfaction.
The flesh will only go
along with you just long enough to satisfied itself.
The bible says “...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew
26:41"
