There are two places in our lives where we may feel the need for that extra support in our lives. The first is when we are so utterly confused as to the direction our lives are going. We are like a rudderless boat in the middle of the sea.
The second is when we have tried our absolute best effort and yet it doesn’t bear the fruit we expect it to. Maybe it’s that business you’re trying to grow or that relationship that just isn’t working out.
During these times that we may feel lost, take a step back, gather yourself, center your mind, and remember that a higher being is in control.
