What to do in an Uncontrollable situation?

Uncontrollable situations happen in life, all the time. What can we do about it?

Some of us worry ourselves sick and pace the floor, some make themselves busy in whatever they can find. And others pray.

Pray?

Why would you sit around and pray, when you could be helping somehow? Well here’s the thing, some situations are simply out of your control, how is worrying yourself sick going to solve anything? And making yourself busy will just wear you out fast.

When we pray, we are not just praying to anyone, we are praying to the creator of the universe! He is the most powerful thing in the entire world! Don’t you think that the wisest thing to do is sit down and talk to the one who actually can fix and heal? The one who can make the mountains move with the flick of his hand?

Bad things happen, yes, they happen to everyone, the rich, poor, good or evil, it happens, you shouldn't always see it as a punishment for something you may have done.

God allows certain things to happen for the good of you or others, things sometimes happen in order for you to learn lessons from them that nothing else could teach you. Sometimes the only thing that can change a person is something so big it stops them in their tracks and changes there life forever.

How do you pray? Well when I was younger I would image that when I said amen, the prayer I just made would be written in a letter and would float up to God for Him to read. But it is not like an email or a letter that you send away, it is a conversation, I’m not saying you hear His voice, but He certainly hears yours. A Prayer is just you talking to God, tell him about your day, thank Him for all the beautiful blessings He has given you and thank Him for His son, the reason as to why you can have a relationship with God in the first place. You can also ask God to help you and others with life, don’t beat around the bush, be honest and specific and most of all let God know that you love Him, it’s okay to tell Him that if it is true, :) I’m sure it means far more then we can imagine. A prayer does not have to be long it can be short and sweet, it can be anytime of the day or night and wherever you are.

But just because you ask God for something does not mean it will happen! God does not work for you! But He does care for you, so whatever God’s plan is it will not destroy you, and if you have the right attitude it can make you a better person.

Have faith, you may not be in control, but God is!
