Getting Guidance from God
There are seasons of life when we struggle with fear, loss, guilt, and loneliness because we live in a fallen world in which God’s will is not always done. What’s even worse is, when we try to do the right things, we often encounter all kinds of threats and hardship. If you don’t know what I mean, just try to eat right, exercise, or get rid of a bad habit. It’s easier to go with the flow, join the rat race, and bury our lives in indefinite busyness, than to make tough decisions to fulfill God-given purpose for our lives. The moment we stop burying our heads in the sand, we need a way to manage the elements of devolution around us, such as fear, lost, guilt, and loneliness.
