You can run, but you can't outrun

So many people spend their lives running from God. They fear that because they have so many sins that they couldn't possibly be made right before God. No matter where they go and no matter how long it takes he will be there. When I fear that I have done something displeasing to my heavenly Father, I ask for his forgiveness and spend some time in prayer. When I don't know what I should do, I know that by spending some time in prayer, I will be given the right answer. The one who knows all and sees all is always right and will never waiver. I try to make sure not to forget to give him credit where it's due. People tend to pray when they need something, they have a problem, they are afraid or sad, or are angry with God. When I pray, I try not to always ask ask ask, but give praise and thanks to the one who gives use what we have and takes away all things unwanted. "Forget not what he has taken away and what he has given and be thankful always". Next time you pray spend some time thinking about those things that he has already done for you and for others around you. This also helps when you are talking to somebody and they want to know how God has affected your life. I have found that the more personal to me the discussion is the easier it is to answer questions.
