Have you ever been desperate for relief?
Have you thought if, a problem could be solved . . . then, you would be okay . . . but eventually, down the road of life . . .
you were once again desperate for relief?
In the course of our journey, there will be a time of desperation. Desperation occurs when every thought, emotion, and action revolves around a specific problem. Relief prevents us from either imploding or exploding.
The thing is . . . desperation is usually messy, painful, and oppressive.
Desperation can be consuming.
And . . . the presence of God is missed.
One thing for sure is that we are headed for a dead-end and all-out desperation when we fail to acknowledge the presence of God.

One thing for sure is that we are headed for a dead-end and all-out desperation when we fail to acknowledge the presence of God.
Relief is found through shalom (peace), highlighted throughout the pages of the story of God as an invitation through Christ that one day all of humanity will recognize . . . and every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11
Peace comes when we acknowledge:God is present.
God is always present.
God will never fail.
God is always present.
God will never fail.
God invites us to engage in an ongoing-active-participating relationship in all we do. We can be assured that with God . . . nothing is impossible.
And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
Be desperate only for Jesus. Those that are desperate for Jesus on a daily basis perceive and manage life through a peace that transforms our perspective.
Go to Jesus.
Give Jesus every problem, big and small.
Jesus will give you peace . . . a peace that restores you and a confidence that nothing is impossible with God . . . enabling you to continue the journey of life.
