It’s funny how praying/talking to God could easily solve most of our problems. I know easier said than done, talking to someone that we physically cannot see but through faith believe He exists! Talk about crazy, but hey it would be less of an experience and trial if we actually saw God on a daily basis, I think we would actually just take advantage of HIM more because we KNOW through empirical evidence that he exists as opposed to us having faith that he does.
Anyway enough of the philosophy. I decided
to call this post “trivial matters” because in life we go through phases where
we find ourselves complaining or worrying over the smallest issues that could
easily be solved. It could be issues like what to wear the next day, what
hairstyle to have on for summer, what summer jobs are we getting, worrying over
exams that have already passed, wondering if a relationship would last, etc.
All these issues we go through are trivial in comparison to life or death
problems that people in the world actually face.
One of the things I am learning in life is
to always be appreciative of everything and stop making petty issues like what
to do to my hair;centre or middle part(believe it or not such decisions
actually stress me out. Dont judge me, cause I know some girls think that way
too lol ) dictate me. Instead of worrying and complaining I just started taking
the issues to God, whether he hears me or not.
I’ll give you an example, I could be
standing in front of my closet for a good half an hour, deciding what to wear,
and the minute I cant decide I get stressed. Anyway I just started imaging God
was beside me and I would talk to thin air pretending one of my best friends
were there and go okay God what shall I wear today. Within time I started to
feel my conscience getting stronger over these petty issues, like something was
pointing me in the direction of, anything can be solved, stop fussing over
these things.
Basically what I’m trying to say is when we
start asking God to help us make decisions, regardless of how small the issue
is, we get used to it and this gives us the incentive to start asking Him to
help us when we face serious issues and believe it or not when you cultivate
the habit of praying wisely, for some reason a solution just pops up and the
problem that seemed BIG at the time becomes nothing.
James1:5-5 “If you need wisdom, ask our
generous God and he will give it to you, He will not rebuke you for asking”
This scripture really touched me when I read it because it’s basically saying no
matter what you ask from God he can never turn away from you. In other words
even if the issue is little he hears and would bring a solution forward as long
as it’s in accordance to His will for your life.

as I’m typing this right now, I’m getting such a thrill, I regret it took me so
long to start blogging again, I really need to get my act together and stop
being so divided between God and my worldly desires*||
To cut the story short, He really does
answer our problems even the smallest ones.
Ephessians3:20 “Now all glory to God who is
able through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more
than we might ask or think”
He can solve our problems beyond what we
can imagine, we just have to have trust.
