So many times  in our lives, problems appear as the go down a path that we feel we cannot possibly change. Many of us try every possible solution: the most logical, to the less obvious.

But as a Catholic, Prayer is always my first 1st choice. I continue to pray as I move down my list of possible solutions to any problem.

I have alway tried to be a resilient and a relentless Catholic. One that will not give up and one that will not be stopped. I will always find a way to strive to do good in a manner that was shown to us by Jesus Christ himself.

If I ever encounter a situation that I feel has no possible way for me to overcome, I can always look to the following saying:   WWJD (What Would Jesus Do).

Jesus was a strong willed man, he was patient, he offered guidance, helped strangers as well as friends, went out of his way to do God’s work,  befriended enemies and faithful followers along the way. He was not pushy, mean, or ill willed… He was understanding and caring, and open minded. All things I feel are examples of what a Catholics should be.

So whenever facing a task, a problem, a dilemma, a challenge, or any obstacle… Remember that there are insurmountable possible solutions to try and that prayer is one of the most effective ways to help solve your problems. You don’t necessarily rely on prayer to do all the work, but prayer reinforces your strength, eases your stress, and will help guide you as you attempt to find a solution.

Psalm 107:28-30
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven”
