Trust in the Lord

So, we’re all teenage girls, so, well, let’s not deny it, we get upset easily (some of us more than others). So where do we find our comfort? So, here’s what my guess is on the statistics – 30% in friends or family, 20% in God, 50% in anger-full tweets, facebook posts, and other ways of social networking.

Well, as for myself, I’d fall into the Friends/Family category, because I don’t have social networking. Yet. Anyway, but why is it that people find all these internet friends or even real flesh-and-blood friends better than their creator? Easy answer – You can verbally hear responses and advice (or, in the case of the internet, you can see the advice J) Well, sure, usually we don’t hear God literally speak to us, but what about the Bible? Isn’t it the Word of God? He’s got some pretty cool stuff in there. But then, there’s also praying, right? Well, I know what you’re thinking, “But God doesn’t respond, He never talks back to me!” Haha, funny, because think about it – Do you actually give Him the chance to respond? Something that I suggest is this, after praying, just stop – don’t think about anything, don’t do anything, just sit, and listen for His words. Of course, you don’t always hear His literal voice, but He speaks through our conscience. Yeah, that little voice? It’s God’s way of speaking to you. Just pouring out your anger to God then getting up and going on is, well, like a little kid screaming at his mom and then slamming the door without her being able to respond.

Trust in the Lord guys, as it says in the Bible, “All things work together for those who love God”. He’s got the ultimate plan! Maybe it’s not exactly what you want, but as it says in the Bible “There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death” and “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” And, “For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper, and not to hurt you.”

So, ladies, when you’re feeling bad, it’s DEFINITELY not bad to talk to friends and family, THAT’S NOT AT ALL WHAT I’M SAYING. It’s great, especially your mom. But take your main solace in the Lord.

God has a plan,
