How Gary Got His Groove Back

A patient of mine named Gary was explaining
to me how he had lost faith in God. During
our time together, however, Gary developed
a unique perspective about God and regained
his faith - something that was very
important to him. I hope that his story
gives you something to think about this
week.

Gary had always felt very connected to God;
his faith was vital to his daily serenity
and he called it "rock solid." That is
until he started meeting some misfortunes
that caused him to reconsider.

You see, Gary believed that he was
responsible for doing footwork. And, in
turn, he believed that God was in charge of
the results of that footwork. In other
words, Gary worked like everything depended
on him - and prayed like everything
depended on God.

And that perspective worked great for Gary
until some unwise investments landed him on
the brink of bankruptcy.

"How could God have forsaken me?," lamented
Gary in my office. "I have always trusted
that God will give me everything I need,"
he continued, "but now I'm reconsidering my
faith." It was just to much for Gary to
understand how God could've "pulled the rug
out from under him" and leave him cold like
this.

What I asked Gary to consider, however, is
the same thing I'd like you to consider
this week: you already have everything you
need - regardless of your circumstances. I
asked Gary to start taking a look at how he
was making it through each day, although he
was very stressed and facing an uncertain
future.

His conclusion? He kept his perspective
through humor. By allowing himself to
laugh each day, he found the strength to
persevere.

And, in accordance with Gary's beliefs, who
gave him that sense of humor? God, of
course.

Once Gary started to see that his God
hadn't abandoned him, he started to believe
again that he might be equipped to handle
the circumstances on his plate. His belief
didn't magically solve his problems, but,
as it grew, his belief did help Gary feel
less stressed each day.

And, being less stressed, Gary was better
able to address his problems and make the
best of his situation.

I hope you consider what an amazing
resource you've been given in your sense of
humor. Regardless of how you believe you
have it, I know you'll find that it
smoothes out many of the potential bumps in
your road this week!
