Whether it\u2019s the media, the government, our religious leaders or even family and friends\u2026 Someone we trusted has let us down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that goes with being human. And none of us are immune.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But what can we do? Once we realize that there is literally no one we can wholeheartedly, blindly trust, do we just give up and \u201ccome what may?\u201d Do we lash out in anger and, if so, will that solve our problems? Or do we roll up our sleeves and search for answers on our own? If you\u2019re like me, the answer is irrefutable: We don\u2019t give up and we don\u2019t give in. We try. And we do our best, recognizing that it will be imperfect, but that the results will be far superior to anything else on offer.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Finding a Solution<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>As we search for answers, I believe there is only one thing in this world that we <em>can<\/em> trust.

(Just skip to the end of this article for resources to help you decide whether the rest is worth reading.)<\/p>\n<p>But for those who <i>do<\/i> believe that God is real and that the Bible is trustworthy, I\u2019ve got some good news \u2013 we can use the Bible to\u00a0seek, and find, the Truth for ourselves.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s get practical: The purpose of this article is to show you how you can use the Bible to find answers on your own.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s find out what God has to say to you!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with a problem many of us have wondered how to solve: How to get along with an impossible person.

But when we read \u201cbearing with one another in love,\u201d in Ephesians 4:2, does \u201clove\u201d refer to a feeling inside our hearts? Or does it mean we are supposed to act in a specific way toward others?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>And if it\u2019s both, how do we know if the author meant \u201clove\u201d in the way that I love my husband?

Ask Him to show you He is real. Ask Him to do it in a way that is so unmistakably specific, that you will know it\u2019s Him. Then, be prepared for the unexpected! (He doesn\u2019t always answer us in the ways we anticipate.)<\/p>\n<p>Please know, God is not like a genie in the bottle. We don\u2019t get to make wishes and then wait for them to be granted.
