There's an old gospel song with the line "Where can I go but to the Lord?" That is the answer. Always and all ways. In every situation, every perceived problem, minor or major. All we need do is remember...just remember...to go first to the Lord and to stay there.
We learn to go to the Lord, but first? And stay there? It's hard to stay there because we so rarely get the reasoning mind's solution to the perceived problem. And for sure not immediately. But that, too, is the process of learning...bringing ourselves back to remembering our decision to give over, give over.
If we could and/or would first problem in life go to the Lord and stay there, I'm guessing our journey on this earth would be over. Maybe that's why babies are taken at birth, at age 6, or young people in their prime...they got it in its entirety, go home. Maybe not, but I like the idea better than the painfully resisting, "Why?"
Thy will not ours is being done...resist not.
Thank You.
