Religious: God is our helper
Father Abraham Srambical

We fall not because we do not have way, but without looking for the way.
Complications and confusion is the seed which the enemy sows to put an end to faith in our life. We tend to lose our way when faced by trials and our mind is on worldly ways to get out of the predicament. In situations like these we must stand still and listen to the calm voice of our Saviour (1 Kings 19:12) who is always there for those who call on Him.
As He has promised that He is there with us always till the end of time (Matthew 28:19), every moment we are in the sight of the Almighty God (Psalms 139). His eyes are a thousand times brighter than the sun. All things are known to Him and He will provide solutions for our problems just like He did for Abraham (Genesis 22:13).
He can and will get you out of seemingly impossible situations. Jesus looked at them and said, “for mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” (Matthew 17:26)
Stand firm on the Word of God and you will see the wonders that He performs for those who believe in Him.
Time and again we see in the Bible what God did for the believers. He will do the same for us. In every circumstance of our lives we should give thanks and praise to God for Him to release His graces on that situation and bring out the good that He has in store for us through that circumstance. “All things God does for the good for those who believe in Him.” (Romans 8:28)
Even when we are at dilemma to make sense of certain events, believe and you will see miracles. In the present days it is easy to wander away from the faith and lose our way. Technology is at such a high mark that we tend to believe in human ability more than at any point of time. We think we can do all things and when we fail, we will lose confidence and become the victim of despair.
Absolute trust in God will make you succeed in life. “Without me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
God wants our welfare (Wis. 19:22). We have to make Him a part of our life so that He may direct our steps and guide us. We may have financial, health, and other problems. No problem we have is bigger than God to solve for us. God wants just one thing from us. “Seek first My kingdom and all else will be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
A small tale reminds me of what I should do when I can’t do things on my own. A young boy was walking along with his dad in the garden and he comes across a log on the path. He tried as he could but was not able move it out of the way. He sits down and cries. His dad asks him, “What’s the problem?” He says he could not move the log. And dad answers him, “Why do you cry? You should have asked me!”
Our heavenly Father waits for us to ask Him. (Isaiah 30:18).
Let us not get pride in the way. Let’s not say we can do all things. Pride leads to fall.
And let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone cares for us. That someone is no one but our God.
