What button are you pushing?


About a month ago I had posted a note on facebook and decided that it would be a nice blog to post. (That and I wanted to post something but am too tired to think of anything creative. So I will recycle. Shhh...don't tell anyone.)

Wouldn't it be nice some days if we could push buttons on our arms like on a remote?

Button to fast forward
Button for extra patience
Button to get rid of anxiety
Button to make you not eat when you're not hungry
Button to make you exercise when you don't feel like it
Button to sensor/filter profanity
Button for motivation/anti-procrastination
Button to hold a nice smile when you really want to ROAR like a lion!
Button to extend your arm to reach that item you want on the top shelf. Go go gadget arm!
Button to wind down and lose the stress
Button to ease your heartache
Button to earn more money
Button to feel loved
Button to get rid of any jealous bone in your body
Button to subside any addictions

The list of possible buttons go on and on..

All I can say is that we have to remember that this is LIFE. There is no instant gratification. If we are not brought through hardships or struggles, we would not grow as individuals. Yes it's going to hurt. But that is when you push your
GOD button. He is the button of all time! The remote control of the world! He is watching and waiting for you to reach out.
Wanting to skip through a day, week, month, year? Pray God will give you strength.
Ready to bite your nails off because you are so anxious about a project? Pray God will calm your nerves. Philippians 4:6-7 says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Tapping your foot off from being impatient? Pray God instills peace in your heart so that you don't have to be impatient. He's got your back! No need to worry. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
Longing to find that special someone and be loved by them with all of their heart?Pray God shows you the love He feels for you and that He prepares your heart while waiting for your special someone. Your special someone's heart is being prepared for you too at this very second. God has the perfect person picked out for you! Keep the faith.

The point is, PRAY!
Pray, pray, pray. God has never left your side and will never leave your side. He wants to help you through any struggles you may face. Whether it's a small mouse of a problem to a Giant Goliath problem. Just reach out and ask Him to help. He is so full of LOVE! We love because He first loved us. I don't know about you, but God is my rock. My Savior. I will never pull away from Him. I'm a lifer! = )
