Are you hurting? Then you've come to the right place--the place where long ago a woman from Samaria found help and healing. From human answers? No--from the One Who IS the Answer! Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, awaits us all at the Well today--come with me, and let's meet Him there!

When Things Don't Go MY Way!
I like to do it MY WAY...and when that doesn't happen, I'm not a happy camper. Are you? Of course not...but how do you handle it? Do you pout? Do you lie down on the floor and kick and scream, do the temper tantrum thing--like a two-year-old? OR maybe you just jump up and down on the INSIDE--where nobody sees. You just know you are right, you want your own way, and whatever works, you'll do! Frank Sinatra sings in the background, "I've Done It MY Way," as you hum along and have your OWN way!

Well, get out your own tape player, bring it to the Well--by the way, it's playing a Christian version of that same song, "I'll Do It HIS Way!" Can we hum along to THAT one? It's hard--but HE's there to help us all...and it's in rhyme format so we can remember it!

A Helping Word...or Two!

When Things Don't Go My Way, I will...

PRAY through--in the power of the Holy Spirit.

WEIGH it--in the light of eternity.

STAY calm and kind--in the grace of the Lord!

LAY it down--at the foot of the Cross!

When Things Don't Go YOUR way, try going HIS WAY,
and you will go in peace and with the approval of Your Lord!

His Healing Words

I'll Turn to You
May His presence fill your heart with song!
Find the lyrics and tune here for the song now playing on this page.

"As for God, his way is perfect...(Psalm 18:30)."

"Lord, I've tried doing it my way--and it doesn't work--for me or for anyone else with whom I must relate. Forgive me for the self-control, self-determination and self-will that takes away YOUR right to be my Lord. I repent--I abandon myself and my wishes--to Your Perfect will--and Lord, when it doesn't go my way, help me see it through Your all-wise eyes and do it YOUR way, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
