(James 5:17-18 NKJV) Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. {18} And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.<\/p>\n
This is showing God’s faithfulness!! Elijah went to God for help with his needs and God took care of him. For Elijah rain was a problem. Maybe for us, abuse is a problem. Maybe drugs are a problem, sex is a problem, money is a problem, our spouse or children are a problem, etc.<\/p>\n
Maybe we think that we can’t ask for help in these areas, but let me tell you this; a problem is a problem, no matter what face it wears. God is there for us! Don’t be afraid to go to Him for help.<\/p>\n
Our first instinct many of times is to run to people when we have a problem; we’ve got to tell so and so about this. There may be some people we need to tell about what’s going on but, first and foremost, God needs to hear it and we need to ask Him for help and let Him guide us through it.<\/p>\n
If we can’t go to Him, maybe because we feel ashamed or maybe because we think it is something we need to fix on our own, then we really don’t trust Him with all of our being. We only trust Him with selective things.<\/p>\n
He wants to be there for us and when He answers our prayers we will see the fruit!!<\/p>\n
