Look to the One Who Gives Answers

I had the opportunity to spend a few days with a friend while back East in April. We are both artists and photographers so it was a fun and inspirationtal time. This photo, which I took of my friend in a small chapel, is a favorite as it reminds me to look to Jesus in all situations. I frequently forget and then later remember when it is too late to get wisdom and answers from the one who knows all, Jesus.  Why is that, why do we struggle on our own only to remember later that we, God's children, have an open door to our Father? I remember years ago, I had lost something and it was a really important thing and I was frantic when my daughter, Alisa said "Mom, did you pray?" and I said, "no", kind of with a sheepish look.  So, I stopped and prayed and asked God to show me where this item was and do you know, I found it shortly after.

Ask and it shall be given to you, seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.  Matthew 7:7
