Trust

I realize more and more...how much I need to seek God in each and every matter. When Samuel...or David...or others sought God...He answered them. Why should I not believe that He will answer me as well...when I seek Him.

If I am to make Him LORD of my life...and not rule my own life...then this is a given. I mean...how will I know what His will is...if I don't ask Him? I need to seek Him in every situation...

• When I answer my emails
• When I start a new task
• When I get stuck on a task and need a breakthrough
• Etc...

Obviously...I need to do what I know I should be doing first. I want success...and His word tells me to meditate on it day and night...then I need to do it. If I am praying and seeking for something...yet not doing the obvious...how stupid is that.

I often try to 'positive think' things into existence...usually without much success. Yet I seem to be so much more successful when I acknowledge the problem and seek God's help.

If I ask God to purify my heart...and He immediately brings things to mind to confess and bring to the light...impure thoughts...anger and frustration...not trusting in Him.

I know what my assignment is. Yet I am trying to do it on my own. I need to trust Him to help me do it...and seek Him at each turn. I am setting my cell phone timer to buzz every 30 minutes...to remind me to pause and seek Him.

I realize that I get all out of whack when I just try to get things done. So, I need to change tactics. I need guidance. I need direction. I need to walk by faith.
