A recent letter in the Herald argued the new road layout in Farnham is already a failure, citing the traffic on Downing Street and the struggles of affected businesses. <\/p>\n

As with other things in life, it can often feel as though things are going in the wrong direction with there being no obvious path to changing course. <\/p>\n

Perhaps it is the trajectory of relationships, finances, or careers. Life is short, and having whole areas of our lives dragged into a degrading spiral can weigh heavily on our mental and spiritual wellbeing. <\/p>\n

As much as we can learn, pick up skills and grow in our coping abilities sometimes we are powerless to reverse certain situations.<\/p>\n

\"Downing<\/p>\n

Downing Street traffic. A recent Herald letter about the \u201cfailure\u201d of the town centre improvements inspired the writer of this piece, (Tindle\/Paul Ferguson)<\/p>\n

Perhaps we also view humanity with a similar perspective. Conflict, AI or climate: few would absolutely disagree if we declared things were going in the wrong direction across the world.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s Word, the Holy Bible, specialises in reversing that which is going in the wrong direction. <\/p>\n

All throughout the Bible we see episodes of strifeful circumstances, unbreakable habits and human depravity. The good news is throughout, we read of a way by which things are turned around \u2013 although that way is not in our hands. <\/p>\n

In trusting and believing in Jesus, we commit our lives to him, and he empowers us by his Holy Spirit to live according to a new path.<\/p>\n

Across the UK, Church attendance is growing significantly amongst certain demographics.<\/p>\n

Thousands are realising that in Jesus, we do not have to stay perpetually stuck in the wrong direction. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A recent letter in the Herald argued the new road layout in Farnham is already a failure, citing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333033,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-333032","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115004304580763161","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
