Understanding. Answers. Faith

What may seem logical to you in a particular situation isn’t necessarily right, because you’re human and fallible. It also may not be the way I see it, because “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
You may be able to figure some things out and get some things right, but you’ll do much better if you learn to ask Me for My insight and solutions.
Sometimes I will lead you to the answer in My Word. Sometimes I will give you the answer in a flash of revelation. Other times I may guide your thoughts until you reach the right conclusion. I may even give you the answer through someone else. The point is, you’ll get much further by praying for My guidance than by trying to reason things out yourself. Not only am I able to give you understanding of situations and answers to your problems, but I am also able to give you the “intangibles”—love, faith, happiness, peace of mind, and the general sense of well-being that comes through living close to Me.
So come to Me with the faith of a little child. Come to Me with an open heart and an open mind, and let Me give you all that I have for you.
—Jesus
