Is There a God?/WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

HELP WITH PROBLEMS AND DECISIONS

God provides guidance to help us cope with problems and make good decisions. Many decisions are small, but others have lifelong consequences. No human can offer us wisdom as effective as the wisdom that our Creator can provide. He has a timeless perspective and is the very Source of human life. So he knows what is best for us.

The Bible contains the thoughts of Jehovah God, as he inspired various human writers to record them. In the Bible, we find this statement:  "I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One guiding you in the way you should walk." -Isaiah 48:17, 18.

God has unlimited power, and he is willing to use his power in our behalf.  The Bible describes God as a loving father who wants to help us. It says: "The Father in heaven [will] give holy spirit  to those asking him!" (Luke 11:13)  This power from God can guide and strengthen us. 

How can you obtain such help from God?  The Bible answers:  "Whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him." (Hebrews 11:6)  To become convinced that God exists, you need to examine the evidence for yourself.
