If you have a problem, take it HONESTLY to God: that is, honestly seek His guidance, and honestly desire to follow it. Let us not go to God seeking favors, or exception to His holy laws, or confirmation of preconceived answers. Go to God to give, not to get. He has already given us far more than we deserve. Recognize that, and go to Him intensely desiring to make tiny and token repayment in love for His infinite goodness and blessing. Give Him freely everything you have. Its nothing, at its very best (and let us ever realize that) -- but He, as a father with a child, accepts it gratefully in understanding love. But be very sure it IS everything. Once you have solemnly committed yourself to Him, be sure you hold nothing back. "God hath no pleasure in fools." Remember Ananias and Sapphira.
