There is nothing the world needs more than men and women who know how to hear God and are unashamed to speak His word. People who understand His Scriptures and pay attention to His Spirit.

Where do you go to find help? When you are overwhelmed, where do you turn? When your way is unclear, whose guidance do you seek? When your resources are depleted, where do you go to find more than yourself?
Some has never even considered these questions. They simply plow forward, relying on the best human abilities they can muster. But every man has limits. We are not all-powerful and our resources are small. We are certainly not all-knowing, so our vision is short-sighted.

If you believe God answers prayer, you will pray often and experience all the benefits of that arrangement with Him. But, if for some reason you think that prayer is meaningless—a mere shout into the wind—you will never communicate with God. And, in so doing, you will miss everything that matters and lasts.

God is waiting on us to come to our senses and cry out to Him. If we will turn in humble repentance, He will hear our cry and send the deliverance we need. If we continue to look to ourselves with prideful self-sufficiency, He will let us go on in our feeble self-help program to bring us to the end of ourselves. We are made to live on God and in His perfect love for us, He will use whatever means necessary to remind us.

It has always been our great dilemma. From the beginning of time right up to this hour we have wrestled between which gods we will serve.

God knows how things are to operate. He has a plan for our lives and for His people and His kingdom. When we humbly follow His plan all is well. But when we violate His plan we miss what is best. And God is jealous for us to follow Him explicitly. He knows that if we miss this, we miss everything that matters and lasts.

Hard times happen … places where our back is against the wall and there seems to be no solution, nowhere to go. When our way has been thwarted or the path seemingly closed. When everything seems impossible and confusing. So, what do we do?

All of us feel insecure at times. The confusion in our souls, the darkness of the world, the press of problems and difficulties can overwhelm us. We become fearful and stressed.
