What To Do When Nothing Goes Your Way

• Well, today I wish to talk with you about something that’s vitally important to each of us. If you are a part of humanity, if you are a living human being, if the old heart is still beating, there’s life in the body, then you can be dead sure that you’re still a part of humanity. And if you are, there’ll be problems in your life.
• There’ll be conflict. Oh, there’ll be nights. There’ll be times when you’ll almost feel defeated. That’s why I want to talk with you today about an uncomplicated and effective method for handling the problems of life which sometimes seems so very overwhelming. Oh, have you felt that the waters are overflowing? Have you felt that you have literally come to the edge of your Red Sea and there was no way forward and no way backward? Had you ever come to the place where you felt that the night would never end? You could see no morning light
• whatsoever. You felt that surely the day would never break. All right. Let me tell you something. Try asking God about it. I have a feeling both from personal experience and by reason of observation that often times we struggle much. so much much too hard with life’s problems. The struggle is terrific. We try to solve them in our own strength.
• There’s a slang expression that goes like this. Easy does it. And I have to remind myself of it over and over again. What I’m talking to you about today, I have to practice myself. That’s the reason I can talk to you about these things because one cannot give to another any more than that one has experienced himself.
