We don’t usually realize how often we run from God to other things or people to cope with what’s going in our lives.
Over the years I’ve realized that I may have run to people and things that didn’t take the place of God. I truly thought that if I tried to deal with it on my own, not go to God first, and try to run to anything else that it’d all work out. That didn’t work so I found myself coming back to God. I found myself constantly relying on God to make this thing right. It’s so awesome to have a loving God. He listens, He loves, and He gives us absolutely everything that we need. We often waste more time running from God and letting Him help us. We’re overwhelmed and worried with things that we could have given to God to begin with. Going to God first builds our faith. It also deepens our relationship with God because He wants us to come to Him with our concerns. God will surround us with peace, clarity, and joy if we let Him do the work. This is also a part of His perfect plan for our life. As usual we just have to trust in His plan and not our own.
'In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”- Proverbs 3:6
