Murphy's Law and the Difficulty of Asking for Help

Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.

Addendum: It will all go wrong at the same time.


Wow. This week has been killer. And not in the good way hahah. I really feel like everything in the world is working against me. But in God's mercy, I got to Church today and had just this amazing feeling of peace and pure love. I got a little guidance, a little comfort. It was a three hour oasis.

I've been thinking a lot lately about being brave enough to accept help. It's hard sometimes! It's hard to go to your friends and family and say, "Look. I can't do this by myself." I want so badly to stand on my own feet and take care of myself, but when the wind is buffeting me like it is, it's a little too much to handle alone. But who to ask? Who to talk to? It's all very confusing to me, but I'm slowly learning that it's okay to let people serve you. I am never inconvenienced when someone asks me for help; I'm always more than happy to help others! And yet I can't bring myself to ask. Isn't that weird? Jesus wants us to all serve and love each other, but there has to be some recipient of said service and love, right?! I'm going to try to be better about asking for help when I need it.

 I know with all my heart that Jesus Christ loves us, and He wants us to come to Him. When the world is full of darkness and confusion, Jesus Christ asks us to fix our eyes on Him. Only Him. He wants us to forget about the sin and ugliness of the world and keep our gaze on His face. He is full of love, grace, truth, kindness, mercy, clarity, peace, and happiness. Through Him, all things are made right. With the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we can overcome any hardship. They have provided us with a great blessing: friends and family that love us. They want us to succeed. By letting them serve us, we are taking advantage of God's greatest blessing.

So let's, you and I, be a little better about asking for much needed help this week.
