Does God help when we make bad choices?
I'm not referring to the David and Bathsheba kind of stuff. I mean poor planning, bad decision, indecision, procrastination, etc that end up causing us major stress and problems in our lives.
I know we do suffer the consequences of our actions/inaction, but when does God say, "That's enough" and come to our aid?

Re: Does God help when we make bad choices?
If my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves, and seek my face...
Yes of course O! The Lord never turns his face from a repentant heart full of humility, and remorse... and even as a father who chastens a child for their wrong deeds, still loves them, and wants the best for them, and is able to turn a difficult situation into something beautiful. Don't despair, wherever you are at, and what you are going through. Read the Beatitudes again.... blessed are the poor in spirit! The Lord's blessings many times come disguised in sorrow.
Praying that whoever this was written for... will know... the hand of God is always merciful, and His love unfailing.

I think when we go out on our own and make our own bad decisions, He is still with us and will protect us to a degree, but I don't believe he helps change the circumstances completely till we ask.
