What do we do when a problem arises?
In this past Sunday's sermon, Pastor Joy shared (and I paraphrase): Problems are promptings from the Holy Spirit to pray: they are opportunities to appeal to our God, who does the impossible.
Here is where we find the dividing line between mature and immature Christians. The immature Christian, in the face of crisis, will engage a number of actions before "getting around to" prayer. Persons who claim to be Christian, but who routinely choose to address crisis situations through every means but God, should not be surprised that their crises continue.
Jesus has said that with God, nothing is impossible. There is no better option we hold than to talk to Him, hear Him, and obey Him. He is the Problem-Solver.
Who are you talking to? Who are you listening to? Who are you appealing to?
