Why?

Why are some things easier to get rid of than others? Why do I have to give in to everything that is thrown my way? Is there a way to be stronger and not be sucked into the evil deeds of greed?

Of course there is. Apostle Paul writes, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6, 7)".

That's a powerful statement to have hope in, especially in a society where the very essence of multi taskment is embedded in our habitual tendencies. Leaving our minds to be scattered, and aimlessly looking for a foundation that will not be shaken by the misunderstanding of our assumptions.

In a society where the question "why?" seems to be the very thing that nourishes our doubt, being in control of every occurrence becomes the effect of the ignorantly mild form of interpretation we have all inherited. Cast our worry unto someone who truly cares about us! No one will love you more than Jesus, who warns you that by doubting and building your foundation off of this doubt, we will eventually be destroyed in our own efforts to create an everlasting experience of life.

That's why he says, ""Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand
(Matthew 7:24, 26)".

Clear instructions from a man living a couple thousand years ago, and we as a society still can't seem to get things together. Not only does he warn us of what our own internal assumptions will cause us, but he also reassures us that the answer lies within himself. Love Jesus above all and his peace and understanding will transcend any desire you have to hope in something "seen", rather than something "unseen".
