We have two choices when it comes to figuring out tough situations…

1. Figure things out on our own.

2. Take the situation to God.

When we figure out that life is more difficult if we try to do everything on our own, taking our difficulties to the Lord becomes easier and a more natural response. That is when our natural selfishness isn’t the leading quality in our lives.

  1. I wanna say pray because it is obviously the best choice. Part of me says I figure it out on my own, and that’s because I do. For me it depends on the situation, and probably my feelings or emotions. So sometimes I pray right away, and sometimes I figure first.
    I think we will all be alright if we pray even after we try to figure it out on our own at first instinct.
