When Things Do Not Add Up

I think I am not the only one that can relate to this phrase. We do all the things we think we are supposed to do but yet things do not come out the way we expect or they do not simply work at all.
Sometimes I think that life is kind of hard because we make it that way. Of course, we have the ones that no matter what they do, they always get the rewards they were searching for or those who get more than what they were expecting. We can dread on this forever and our math might never match up but the wonderful thing is that there is someone who's math is perfect.
~ GOD~
He is the sole creator of adding and subtracting and with a few divisions, we are multiplied.
At least I personally know that He can do the perfect math for me even if I am not happy with the equation because I am human. I am definitively in agreement that His solution is the best one ever!
Then how can we align ourselves to his precious mathematical equation?
By staying focus on the Word of God is one of the steps to be aligned with Him. Some people are morning people. Others are afternoons or evenings functioning. It really does not matters what time of day you give to God. The important thing is that you give him part of your time. I personally prefer the mornings before my mind gets contaminated with the events of the day and all that is happening in our world and society today. Usually by two or three in the afternoon my brain is kind of fried, lol.
Prayer is a great way to align ourselves with God. It is not always easy but I have come to experience that I can be praying most of the day in my mind. It is important to take some time and "take the garbage out". Some people do this in different ways. Fasting is one of the most used. Some fast for food, while others fast for sweets or social media. The important thing here is to find time to empty our minds for a little while and let the thoughts of God come in. It will be refreshing and the brain will benefit from the break and renewal too!
I did not write anything last week not because I did not have any thoughts. I just decided to complete my homework and all of a sudden, I did not watch any TV or regular radio. It was enough with a few conversations overheard from others to be reminded of the struggles of the world. I cuddled in bed and watch only Christian messages movies and listened to only Christian music. I realized I really did not missed them that much. I made myself find peace in the things that really matter to my spiritual growth and food for my soul.

Once we align ourselves, even if it is in a small scale, we can see how important and easy comes to walk on God's will. This is not easy by the way. It is very easy to derail ourselves with the wrong thoughts and actions. There is so much out there that it can be seem important and we just follow like sheep to be slaughtered. For me it is detrimental if I derail and it happens so very often. Sometimes I question how come others are able to do it and it seems so easy. The truth of the matter is that everyone has its own struggles and hardships.
NOT ONE IS EXEMPT
Perseverance is one of the key parts. God is ok with that. As long as we do not give up trying and keep on going, we will be alright! We will one day accomplish a change in our hearts.
