One of the most difficult parts of the Christian life is the fact that becoming a disciple of Christ does not make us immune to life’s trials and tribulations.
There are people who claim to be Christians have that kind of self-sufficient attitude. They think because have brains, education, experience, and technology, prayer isn’t necessary.
Years after the apostle Paul became a child of God, he still regretted that he had persecuted Christians ( 1 Tim. 1:12-15). He couldn’t undo the past, and he didn’t try.
We often spend lots of time and energy building our own little ‘castles’ of stuff and basking in our accomplishments. It all may seem worthwhile, but in the end it’s worthless.
