Problems To Prayers!
"I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be
praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies."
Psalm 18: 3
Barry Zito was one of baseball’s brightest stars, winning the Cy Young
Award as the best pitcher in the American League in 2002. His career
suffered downturns, and after fifteen seasons in the Major League, he
found himself at a very low point in life. The Giants then awarded
him
the largest contract in baseball history at the time. Fans thought
it was
a wasted investment. In 2010 he was left off the Giants’ playoff
roster.
He watched as a spectator while his teammates won the World
Series without him. Finally, his girlfriend told him to lock up all of
the self-help books he was reading and to open the Bible she
gave him. Out
of that experience he came to faith in Christ.
Life is hard, but sometimes the hardest places are turning
points that lead us to faith in Christ or to a deeper walk with
Him. God uses our difficult circumstances to bring Him glory.
Learn to praise Him during times of difficulty; to turn
problems to prayers; and to turn hardships into hallelujahs.
When life throws you a curveball, praise the Lord anyhow.
"God has a purpose for trials and testings."
