We tend to think of Him only after exhausting all other possible options.<\/p>\n<p>But God wants to change all of that. He wants us to learn and grow to understand that we should be looking to Him first!<\/p>\n<p>Going to God first can be tough to learn when we first start. We get so used to depending on ourselves or others for help that it&#8217;s kind of a knee-jerk reaction each time we face a tough situation or circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>But the longer we take before surrendering to God and asking Him for <i>His<\/i> help and <i>His<\/i> solution, the longer it will be until we have the <i>right<\/i> answers to our questions and the <i>right<\/i> solutions for our problems.<\/p>\n<p>The key is that we learn to put God first in absolutely everything we do and every choice that we make. As we learn to do this, we will find ourselves trusting Him more and more and find ourselves in less problematic situations.<\/p>\n<p>And when we <i>do<\/i> run into something that requires help, we will instinctively turn and look to God for that help, instead of spinning our own wheels or running to our friends.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
