1 | Where do we go with burdens? | James 1:5 | justme | 66655 | ||
Why is it that we seem to seek out others advice on problems and seek their advice or solutions, from the Forum first? Are we not to seek out Wisdom from our "Owners Manual" the Bible, and pray to our Father in Heaven for wisdom and direction, first before seeking the advice of others? When a thread takes nine hours to suggest some answers for a problem that a burdened person has, is this how we as Christians are to resolve our problems and issues? Should we not direct our burdens to Jesus our Lord, and expect Him to direct and give us wisdom? I am not saying the Forum can not help but should we not direct burdened people to the Lord who has every answer? Psalm 139:3 " You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways." NASB updated. Who is wiser, more knowledgeable, and loving than God Almighty? Does not God have the answer to everything? Maybe we need to say I am willing to prayer partner with this for you? Is it perhaps, easier to come up with a quick fix instant answer, I really wonder, do you? justme |

2 | Where do we go with burdens? | James 1:5 | Hank | 66665 | ||
Justme, your question brings to mind a line from a hymn we used to sing in a little country church long ago when I was a boy: "Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there." In all these years since then, I've never been able to find any better solution than that and doubt I ever will. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Where do we go with burdens? | James 1:5 | justme | 66667 | ||
Hank: I personally have found that remembering Psalm 139:3 has been a verse that has brought me to prayer over burdens and all of lifes problems. Just Knowing the my Father KNOWS ME COMPLETLY! I have at times wondered if asking other Christians to pray for a need I am facing is really that important, if I ask to be in God's direct will. What more could I want. Does the prayers of many make God hear my request any more? If I am truely His Child is not my prayer enough? I say this with a serious question, as I have asked for prayer many times in my life, and it was comforting. But, was that not using my faith in God's ability to answer my prayer? I have pondered this for several years. I would respect and appreciate your opinion. justme |
