It is tough to face the fact that most of our troubles are of our own making. Yet it is essential to accept that fact if we are to change our thinking and thereby our actions to avoid trouble. It is so difficult that we can not do it alone. It is only when we seek God’s help that we are able to change our thoughts to seeking joy and peace and away from seeking or accepting trouble in our lives. Seek God to find good.

Seeking and Finding
People are very apt to find what they seek. You have noticed that people who go about looking for trouble, practically always find it. The popular proverb, “Listeners seldom hear good of themselves,” is an example. We also know people who love to say that they never have any luck. When things seem to go against them, they exclaim triumphantly, “Wouldn’t you know it?—that is what always happens to me!”
Now, such a mistaken person needs only to alter this habit and he will automatically alter his life. It is often difficult to get such people to make this alteration, but if they do the result is never in doubt. Spiritual law says that it is never too late to mend, and that when we seek God’s help we find it.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth;for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:22).
