On my post on Wednesday titled Back to the Future, I talked about living in the land of what if. But the Land of What if is more than holding on to the past or to negativity.
We all have had a crisis of faith, when we don’t know what to believe. Why does God allow certain things to happen? What if God is not listening to me? What if my sin is unforgivable? What if it’s not God telling me to do this? What if God is not even there?
Even Jesus had a moment where he felt that God was not there.
Matthew 27:45-46 From noon to three, the whole earth was dark. Around midafternoon Jesus groaned out of the depths, crying loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
And there was also a time when Jesus wanted to see if there was another way around God’s plan.
Matthew26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done
But see that at the end he still obeyed and allowed God’s will to be done. Although I’m sure it was not easy for him to die on that cross being that he was innocent, he not only got through it but achieved Victory!
Join me in worshipping the Lord and may he help you with any struggles of your heart.
Until then, be blessed

This is a great, mature post. So many Christians seem to fall away because their prayers weren’t answered the way they expected. I have learned that when God says, “NO” or “Later,” He has my best good in mind. Marriott Cole, author, http://amzn.com/1462401880
