“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
I really enjoy bowling. I have my own equipment, I bowl weekly in leagues and I have a pretty good average. I enjoy bowling so much that I wouldn’t mind going pro once I retire. While bowling in a league, my “Achilles heal” was revealed. I was competing against another bowler and we were going tick for tat frame for frame – except whenever I left that darn ten pin. I struggled sparing the ten pin whereas my opponent was not. After my defeat, I swallowed my pride and asked, “Hey! How do you manage to pick up that darn ten pin so easily?” He said, “Take your ring finger out when you aim for it.” And now, I no longer struggle sparing that darn ten pin!
Everyone has a darn ten pin in their life that they struggle with. And just like I found out, there is someone out there that God has given the answer to your ten pin situation. Don’t be afraid to ask for wisdom or help in your situation. Go to God in prayer and He will send you the wisdom you lack. Whether your ten pin struggle is in chemistry class or chemistry in your relationship. Whether your ten pin is smoking, procrastinating or over eating, God has placed your answer out there. You don’t have to struggle. You don’t have to go without. You only need to ask.
Swallow your pride
“Heavenly Father, I will ask You when I lack wisdom knowing You will give generously to me without finding fault. Thank You for blessing me and loving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
