I know someone that is going through a difficult time right now – they’ve been going through the same issues for quite some time... literally years. If we really think about it, I’m sure we all have known a person like that in our lives. Anyway, this person recently stated that she is ready to turn this particular problem “over to God”. But, I’m concerned about how she is gonna proceed now.
You see, I think there’s a common misconception here: Some people believe that once things are “given” to God, they no longer have any responsibility associated with the outcome. I, personally, have an incredible faith in God and what He is capable of, but I also believe that He works THROUGH us. He provides us with solutions to our problems by guiding us through them. Sometimes He leads us to certain people that can help us in ways that we can’t help ourselves.
I believe when we “hand” our issues to God, our responsibilities are just starting… the hard work is just starting – listening to what His solution is and doing it. However, the healing that follows… Well, that’s the icing on the cake.
