Easier said than done

Have you ever gotten to a point where encouragement no longer encourages you, or when you receive encouragement, it is so easy to hear it.. but to go all out and apply it to YOUR life is proving difficult? Someone tells you to 'Get up and move' or 'Make a move...' but you just can't do it?

Have you ever gotten to that point? Were you able to pass through it?

Sometimes in life.. there are things that we don't want encouragement for.. but rather we want answers. And we want them now.

Wherever we find ourselves in.. have you ever thought to yourself 'God.. what do you want me to learn out of this?' or 'God.. what are you trying to bring to my attention?' Because everything that happens in our lives.. God has allowed it to happen.. the good and the bad.

But we are so quick to come out of the bad that we don't actually have the time to be still.. and wonder what we need to get out of it.

God speaks to us all the time.. but do we hear him? We are too distracted by the multitude of thoughts in our minds.. to all of the other external distractions that we don't even seek for his counsel. Sometimes God wants you to himself.

There's so much that we can be encouraged about.. but until we decide to get up.. we will stay in the same place.

There's a lot of things that are said to us that seem so easy to say.. but to actually do them is a completely different story.

But... I know it's not coincidental.. whenever I'm troubled I'm always reminded in Philippians 4:6

Pray.

Pray.

It's the best thing to do.

In everything. Pray.
