Those who leave Everything in God's hands will eventually see God's hands in Everything!
Oh goodness.....I need to read this every single day, and then re-read it again!
What does it mean to leave everything in God's hands?
It means abandoning our own ways and trusting God.
Easy to say, but many times I find it difficult to leave everything in God's hands.
I immediately start thinking about what I CAN DO to rush things up, or what can I DO to make things go the way I want them to go. I do not want to steal these things back. I gave them to God and HE is in control. HIS way is better than any way I could possibly dream of.
Do you struggle with this?
Just because I put my everything in God's hands, does not mean that I can sit down with a cup of coffee and watch TV all day long. God expects me to be willing to do my part.....according to the steps that HE orders for me. I am to seek those steps!
I am to focus on the direction that these steps are leading me in.
Just last week, I found myself concerned about a situation. I prayed and I prayed some more. I told God that I was giving the situation and all my worries to HIM. I found myself walking in Peace and I was so excited about the day moving forward. BUT THEN.....worries and thoughts began to attack my mind. Waiting was not an option and I thought I had the perfect solution. Once again....I tried to fix things myself, only to find out that my actions would only bring me more worry. What I thought I had given to God, I found myself trying to take it back and guess what? I failed.
My prayer then became, God forgive me for having doubt. Help me to put my wholehearted trust and faith in you.
I am learning to trust the hands of the one whose handiwork declares HIS glory!

Hello Dear Friend, this post spoke right to me. Yes, lately I have more anxiety. I am very concerned about our Nation. I have Texas family, in the midst of the border crisis. It all can get to be TOO MUCH.... so this reminder is just what I needed.

When I have struggles and concerns and my heart is troubled, I constantly pray. I like the words in the first picture. You are a good and caring woman, Shug. : )

YES, it is hard to turn everything over to God! This makes me think of what the bible says about God's ways not being our ways. And that is so true. I think a lot of us are afraid that God's solution will be something they will not like. So we need to have faith for sure. LOVE your header!!
ReplyDeleteHi Shug~ There is so much in this world right now that just needs to be turned over to God! When I get overwhelmed, and I often do, I pray, and just remember who is really in control. He will forever light our way, our truth and our light. Loved this post! Hugs, Barb
