Can you help shed some light on why we are here in this life? In conversations with others, I find myself insisting on being "right." Why should I care so much that my ideas about life are understood by everyone? Could you give some insight into loneliness and how to abolish it? Without reverting to their lower level, how do you get people to stop making their hurtful, cut-down remarks? How do...
To allow God's will to be your way begins with realizing that the only obstacles you run into in your life are the creations of your will. What makes you so weary is not the world that refuses to yield to your will, but your own unyielding will ever driving you on to find an end to your weariness.
