If you pray stop worrying

January 26, 2023 by Signmaker

If you pray stop worrying
If you pray stop worrying

This sign is really about faith. If you pray and believe, then you cannot continue to worry about the thing you prayed for. Praying and believing does not mean expecting God to do everything. Here is a great story that illustrates this point:

A man was trapped in his house during a flood. He began praying to God to rescue him. He had a vision in his head of God’s hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety.

The water started to rise in his house. His neighbor urged him to leave and offered him a ride to safety. The man yelled back, “I am waiting for God to save me”. The neighbor drove off in his pick-up truck.

The man continued to pray and hold on to his vision. As the water began rising in his house, he had to climb up to the roof.

A boat came by with some people heading for safe ground. They yelled at the man to grab a rope they were ready to throw and take him to safety.  He told them that he was waiting for God to save him. They shook their heads and moved on.

The man continued to pray, believing with all his heart that he would be saved by God. The flood waters continued to rise. A helicopter flew by and a voice came over a loudspeaker offering to lower a ladder and take him off the roof.  The man waved the helicopter away, shouting back that he was waiting for God to save him. The helicopter left.

The flooding water came over the roof and caught him up and swept him away. He drowned.

When he reached heaven and asked, “God, Why did you not save me? I believed in you with all my heart. Why did you let me drown?”

God replied, “I sent you a pick-up truck, a boat and a helicopter and you refused it all. What else could I possibly do for you?!”

Make sure you have a plan
Make sure you have a plan

Make sure you plan your work and work your plan.

Too many times we rush into something without a plan. We get frustrated because we did not plan for obstacles.  Make sure you take the time to prepare for the journey. You would never leave for a summer vacation without planning out every detail.  Isn’t your life worth planning?

Don’t Complain

Don’t Complain
Don’t Complain

When we really appreciate what we have, we stop complaining. Being appreciative, like love, is a skill that is developed through practice.

“There were people who went to sleep last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again.

And those dead folks would give anything at all for just five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing.

So you watch yourself about complaining.

What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” ― Maya Angelou

Success and Failure

Success and Failure
Success and Failure

Contrary to what most people believe, success and failure are not in different directions. Success comes from good decisions. Good decisions often come from what we learn. And, we often learn more from our mistakes than from the success we experience.

There are no real mistakes in life. What we have are opportunities to learn.  Rather than worry about mistakes, make sure you learn the proper life lessons.

No Fear

January 26, 2023 by Signmaker

No Fear
No Fear

It has been said that fear is FALSE EVIDENCE that APPEARS REAL. If you know that God is for you, who or what can be against you? Trust in God and connect to a purpose greater than yourself and you will see your fear slip away.

Fear is often a silent killer. It keeps us from ever trying. Fear can be like a tiny stake that keeps us from moving.

Remember the powerful elephant that refuses to move because of a tiny stake?

Elephant tied to stake
Elephant tied to stake

It was taught to not pull when it was young.

We are like the elephant in many ways. We are tied to stakes that keep us from moving forward. Often our stakes are fears that we learned when we were young. Often we inherit fears from others.

Stake that hold us

Many of us are tied to the same fears and illusionary limits. As we each get free from our limits, we are then equipped to help others. Please share your stories of success and how you have moved past the things that use to hold you.

Plan and Prepare

Plan and Prepare
Plan and Prepare

It has often been said that if you don’t plan to win, then plan to fail. So often, we end up where we don’t want to be because we fail to plan. Goal setting is a great way to make sure your ladder is not leaning against the wrong metaphorical wall. After goal setting make sure you constantly check in to make sure you know where you are on your journey.
