I am not sure why this is, and maybe you have experienced the same, but when I face major challenges or crises in life, or when friends and loved ones experience these major problems, I remember to ask for God help and involvement. However, for some reason when I have routine daily challenges, I tend to look at them as my sole responsibility. Rather than going to God for help and maintaining my peace, I’ll get uptight, and sometimes irritated or critical for silly little reasons.
Psalm 55:22 says, “Give your burden’s to the Lord and he will take care of you.” It doesn’t say, “..but only the big issues you cannot handle on your own.”
God wants to be part of our lives, and wants us to include us in everything we do.
Dear Lord, Thank you for always being there, waiting for us to ask for your help. Remind us to ask in the small routine things as well as the serious. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Thank you for this message.
Thank you for sharing this today. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one that forgets to seek the LORD’S face when I’m doing ordinary, every day things. I guess deep inside I don’t think that they are worthy enough to ask God for guidance and help with what I do. Maybe it’s my ego also-too big to ask for help for little things. Maybe it’s also my “why do I have to ask” attitude. I get that way with my husband when I’m working at chores and he’s not doing anything worth while (to me anyway) and when he sees me doing something he comes up and says “do you want me to do that?”. But I’m slowly seeing that God is there for me all the time, no matter what I’m doing, or not doing. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, because He’s blessed me way beyond what I deserve. Thank you for letting me speak.
