James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Life, and the things that happen in it, sure\u00a0has a way of bringing us to our knees. Sometimes it can cause us to do the opposite and harden\u00a0up, run away\u00a0and try to fix things on our own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have we ever gotten mad at God for something that He didn’t do for us? Maybe we prayed for a love one, or we prayed for a job. Maybe we even prayed that He would help us to pass a test or get good grades. Maybe we asked Him to save our marriage.<\/p>\n

Yet, in all that praying, we still lost that loved one. We still failed that\u00a0test, or our grades weren’t\u00a0good enough to get us into that\u00a0school we were so looking forward to going to. Or in all that praying, our\u00a0marriage\u00a0or relationship failed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It didn’t seem like it changed anything at all. In return, it\u00a0made us doubt God and turn from Him and\u00a0never want to trust Him or have anything to do with Him again. We walked away and shut the door on Him for life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These types of situations have\u00a0happened to many people.\u00a0We may never know why it seemed like God did not help us or show up for us when we felt like we needed Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The thing we have to remember is that when all was said and done, was He there to help pick up the pieces? Was He there to hold us? Was He there to open another door for us, or help us to get something precious out of what we were going through?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we walk away from Him, we\u00a0will never know. We will never see what He will do for\u00a0us. If we walk away, there will be no\u00a0opportunity for Him to\u00a0walk us through the difficult times and allow us to see for ourselves how only\u00a0He\u00a0can turn things around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today, if we\u00a0have turned away from God because of some things we\u00a0have been through, and we\u00a0feel He wasn’t\u00a0there for\u00a0us when we\u00a0needed Him most,\u00a0won’t we\u00a0give Him a\u00a0chance to show up? Will we stop and humbly come back to Him and\u00a0tell Him how we\u00a0feel and then let Him lift\u00a0us up?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He does not fail us, ever. Give Him a chance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
