Mountains and Mustard Seeds

“There’s really not a difficult thing unless you decide it’s a difficult thing. Otherwise, it’s just the next thing you’re figuring out.” – Unknown.

            Things are truly only as difficult as we make them out to be in reality. If we remember to let Jesus take the lead on them, like we are supposed to, we wouldn’t find ourselves in the shape we so often do a lot of times. A little thing often becomes a huge thing because we worry about it and try to handle it on our own and it becomes a literal mountain in our lives that becomes so hard to climb that we can’t even begin to know how to start climbing it.

However, if from the moment we felt it becoming an issue, we prayed about it and asked the Lord for help and direction, we could keep it from becoming as such. This would help save us from so much unnecessary anxiety, stress and turmoil in our lives. We just have to do what Jesus tells us to do. We are just so incredibly hardheaded. I’m speaking for myself here too. God gave us specific directions for a reason. If we follow them, we will have monumentally better outcomes. Let’s try harder and we’ll see why it is He knows what’s best for us and REALLY have no idea what is.
