Often, we can put a lot of effort into getting what we want or think we need. Sometimes, all that effort gets us is a predicament.⁣

Now, most of us don’t kill to get what we desire, but I have “done in” my bank account by stretching it too thin to buy something I just had to have. Can you relate? We sacrifice time with our families to try and get ahead at work or we fight our consciences when we know we’re going after what we shouldn’t have. A desire for more, coveting what’s not ours, motivated by the wrong things..yep, a predicament!⁣

What do we do when we’ve turned our lives upside down, we’re hanging by a thread, and don’t know our next move? Stop striving and look Up!⁣
