Remove the Confusion About Life

Could I ask you for a small favor? Please rate the article on the star scale at the end, because we can't improve the site without your input :). Thank you

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible - Jesus (Matthew 19:26)

Want some irony?

God has blessed me with a huge competitive spirit but no athletic ability to back it up.

I love to play basketball even though I am about the size of Shaq’s left foot. I put everything I possibly can into winning. The tougher the opponent, the harder I try. I size up my opponent and believe with everything that I can beat him.

No matter how dumb I look or how little chance I have at coming back from a 50 point deficit.

This same competitive spirit that drives me in sports also drives me in life. It is a blessing for the most part. I have a vision for my life and I am extremely dedicated to having a strategy to complete my goals. I do not give up when things seem impossible.

Instead, I fight harder.

Cant Do It Yourself

You can envision a competitive spirit as a bed of roses. There are beautiful and sweet smelling benefits but layered with thorny negatives. The worst of which is that you believe you can achieve perfection through your own dedication and  intelligence.

You don’t lean on anyone to get you through really difficult situations.

So you ultimately collapse.

we can accomplish  many things on our own will. A good combination of intelligence, strength and heart can lead you through most situations, but they can only go as far as your physical limitations.

For the seemingly impossible, you need something greater than yourself.

The one thing that you are allowed to swear on your mothers grave about is that life will randomly and continuously beat you over the head like a 5 year old preschooler going after a candy stuffed pinata. Maybe its trying to help you and focus your attention on the more important things. My belief though is that life thinks itself as a little prankster leprechaun who plays cruel jokes on people to relieve its own boredom.

Either way, the truth is that you will be dealt a hand in life where you think the only option is to fold.

When Confused About Life

It is in these times that we shouldn’t allow our ego to get in the way by attempting to figure things out ourselves. Instead, we need to turn to God for guidance and leadership while we go through these tough situations. Then step back and allow Him to give us the clarity in making the right decisions to get us through our struggles. No matter if it is fear of losing someone that you have cared about for so long or stress from suddenly finding out that you have lost your only source of income.

God wants us to turn to him.
