Finding answers

We have decisions to make and problems to solve every day. Prayer helps us find the answers we need.

Mary Lee S. O'Neal

Some answers are easy to come by. In many places, simply by dialing a telephone number we can receive the correct time, a weather update, or the latest traffic conditions.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our questions could be answered by this simple method? If someone could give us answers and direction in every area of our lives? So many questions confront us. "What should I be doing with my life?" "Where can I find a job?" "Is this the person I should marry?" "Should I buy this home?" "What do I need to study to pass this examination?"

When we are faced with decisions, whether the everyday kind or the once-in-a-lifetime variety, where do we turn for help? When human reasoning has been exhausted and no clear answer is forthcoming, I turn to God. (If I have been spiritually alert, I will have turned to God immediately, saving a lot of time and effort!)
