I remember very well an instance when I was deeply infatuated with a pretty young lady. However, it appeared that she didn't have the least bit of interest in me. However, I chased and chased her trying to force the situation, which of course didn't work at all as she was just not interested in me .....period. My Friend, perhaps you have experienced similar incidents in your life when you tried and tried to force something to happen which you deeply desired at the time. I'm also quite sure that it didn't work, for no one can force anything to happen in their lives. As someone put it in a lecture I attended some years ago "Sometimes we try too hard".....yes indeed we do!
Now incidentally, I don't want anyone to get me wrong here today as I do indeed believe that in order to be successful at anything, we do indeed need to be very persistent in our efforts to make our goals in life become reality. However, there's a time when I believe it is both prudent and wise to back off, and just 'Let Go & Let God' take care of the situation, let Him take over and thus guide you in the right direction. As another well-known saying puts it "If it's to be it will be".
Joel Osteen was talking about this very same subject which I'm addressing here today in a talk he gave on television recently, and he likewise advocated, that we should not try to force a situation to take place. He then used the phrase which is indeed the title of this article when he advised people as follows 'Don't Force It --- Faith It!'
Now My Friend, here's an important question for you to answer. Is there something which you deeply desire to happen in your life which you have been quite aggressively pursuing for some time to no avail, and the more you come up against a brick wall, so to speak, the more you try to force the situation to work out as you'd like it to? Well if the answer to that question is a resounding Yes, I suggest that you back off, relax and give the matter in its entirety to the greatest power in The Universe, your Spiritual Father, God as you relax KNOWING all the time that all is well. Yes My Friend, 'Don't Force It --- Faith It!'; that is give the matter to God and believe that everything is in Divine Order, thus all will work out for the best in the end.
