You’ve shared your disappointments with your neighbor, your relatives, your friends. But have you taken them to God? James 5:13 says, ‘Anyone who is having troubles should pray.”

Before you go anywhere else with your disappointments, go to God. Maybe you don’t want to trouble Him with your hurts. “He’s got famines and wars; He won’t care about my little struggles,” you think. Why don’t you let Him decide that?

He cared enough about a wedding to provide the wine. He cared enough about Peter’s tax payment to give him a coin. He cared enough about the woman at the well to give her answers. He cares about you! Your first step is to go to the right person. Go to God. Your second step is to assume the right posture. Bow before God. And—trust in Him!

Go. Bow. Trust. Worth a try—don’t you think?
