Facing Spiritual Crises

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James 3:17

Your desire to seek a deeper relationship with God will not remove all problems from your life; to the contrary, it will bring about a series of personal crises as you constantly seek to say “yes” to God although the world encourages you to do otherwise. You live in a world that seeks to snare your attention and lead you away from God. Each time you are tempted to distance yourself from your Heavenly Father; you will face a spiritual crisis. A few of these crises may be monumental in scope, but most will be the small, everyday decisions of life. In fact, life here on earth can be seen as one test after another – and with each crisis comes yet another opportunity to grow closer to God...or to distance yourself from His plan for your life.

Today, you will face many opportunities to say “yes” to your Heavenly Father – and you will also encounter many opportunities to say “no” to Him. Prayerfully consider your answer, seek His guidance and trust that He has your best interest in mind.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You that I can come to You at all times and that You are there. As I face the opportunities of this day help me to seek Your wisdom, Your direction and Your counsel. Empower me to be a faithful, obedient and available servant of Yours and to rest secure in Your loving arms. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
