He will lead us if we ask Him He will not abandon us. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. In fact, this bewildering time in life can actually be an opportunity to demonstrate the level of our faith. Sometimes, God wants us to seek Him persistently and patiently. Yet, praying for guidance and direction does not ensure that the answers will immediately materialize.
Christians have to work hard, just like everyone else.
Prayer does not always abolish the struggles of the the Christian, since everyone living in this world learns through tribulations. Through prayer, however, God provides us with strength so that we can continue to strive. He reminds us that the true meaning of our lives cannot be found in the material and the worldly, but instead in the spiritual and the Godly. The focus of Christian spirituality lies in the life giving truth revealed by Jesus Christ. No matter what the future brings us after we leave Columbia, we must aim to please God with our lives.
