I have mentioned now and then that I believe it is true that God helps those who help themselves. Sometimes I want answers to problems but I do not do enough to help myself. I pray. I beg. And I do not do much else. The situation is sort of like giving someone a “good faith” deposit on a large purchase we plan to make. I need to remind myself more often that helping God to help me is a “good faith” deposit on the favor I’m asking for.
Sometimes I just push on ahead in a situation and forget to take a deep breath and ask for help each step of the way. I admire folks who think before they speak. I must learn to pray before I act.
Father, help me to remember to pray before I act, and to help you to help me when I need the solution to a problem.
