Talk to Me

 

 

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed

 is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Edison

 

 

I think Thomas Edison knows a thing or two about failing. It is said Edison went through some ten thousand light bulbs before getting it right. Don't you think somewhere in the middle, say around the 3-5,000 range he began feeling inadequate? Maybe losing faith in himself? But...Thomas kept moving forward, probably even when he felt he didn't trust his own wisdom, he kept moving forward.

 

Sometimes we can get like that with God. We may approach God with our prayer or concern for a situation and maybe not feel like we fully trust in Him. But, if you are praying to Him, if you are acknowledging Him, then surely you must trust Him, otherwise why would you even turn to Him for help?

 

When you call somebody on the phone you must want something from them, right?

 

 You don't call anybody without a purpose, right?

 

You don't go up to any random stranger and tell them something personal and try to get an answer of help from them,right? You go to somebody you trust.

Acknowledging God in prayer is the first step in trusting Him. Then, when you begin to earnestly seek Him out, He will not only deliver you, He will also impart wisdom to you which in turn will increase your trust in Him. All you need to do is,

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." - Psalm 50:15
