THANK ME IN THE MIDST of the ordeal. When things seem all wrong, look for growth opportunities. Especially, look for areas where you need to let go, leaving your cares in My able hands. Do you trust Me to orchestrate your life events as I choose, or are you still trying to make things go according to your will?
If you keep trying to carry out your intentions while I am leading you in another direction, you deify your desires.
Be on the lookout for what I am doing in your life. Worship Me by living close to Me, thanking Me in all circumstances.
- Jesus

ReplyDeleteCarrying your worries, stresses, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully with your life. It take humility, however, to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, and to let others in God's family help you. Letting God have your anxieties calls for action, not being motionless. . Don't submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls circumstances.
