You think my problems are bad

by Jared Akers

my problemsI heard someone the other day say, “You think my problems are bad, you should see my solutions.”

For years my solution was self-will and alcohol. Today, my solutions are spiritual and mainly consist of:

  • Prayer and Meditation
  • Asking for help
  • Rule 62, not taking myself to seriously

Its comforting to know I don’t have to figure things out on my own. I can pray for guidance and have faith the answers will come. This faith has come from experience, its just that simple. I believe God works through other people, and by asking for help, I’m seeking a spiritual answer to my problem.
