Promises and Answers

You and I do not have, nor will we ever have, enough wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to guide our own lives.  But we have from God Himself great and precious promises for guidance, wisdom, and truth:

If any man lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him (James 1:5). 

The Living Bible reads this way:  If anyone does not know what to do, he should ask God, who does not mind being asked.....

The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame (Is. 58:11)

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Is. 30:21).

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you. 
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you (Ps. 32:8-9).

Thinking about these promises, back in December, I asked for wisdom about what I thought then were allergies causing constant coughing, and I also asked for a good doctor.  In January, for the first time, I saw a doctor who immediately ordered a CT scan and then sent me to a great pulmonologist, who then referred me to a great surgeon.  My prayer was answered in marvelous ways.....
