I sat down at my computer and checked my Facebook. There was a link on my wall from a friend of mine, so I checked it out. It was "Let Go" by BarlowGirl, and it was just the confirmation I needed that I should write this out tonight. Let me share the lyrics with you - (in purple)
Yeah I trust in You
I remember times You led me
This time it's bigger now
And I'm afraid You'll let me down
But how can I be certain?
Will You prove Yourself again?
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm about to let go
And live what I believe
I can't do a thing now
But trust that You'll catch me
When I let go
When I let go
What is this doubt in me
Convincing me to fear the unknown
When all along You've shown
Your plans are better than my own
And I know I won't make it
If I do this all alone
Trust; to have confidence or faith in. This past week, God has been showing me how much I need to trust in Him and how much I desperately need Him! Yes, I trusted in God before, but this week has made me rely on Him so much! I've been constantly surrounded by people who trust wholly on Him, but I've never fully realized how important it is. This week, I started coming to Him with everything; not just the huge things in my life, but even the teeny little things that bug me. One night, I told Him how much I was sick of trying to do everything my way and I just gave it all up to Him again. I was so tired of worrying about things, of living anxiously. The minute I gave all my burdens to Him and let Him take control, I had peace. Philippians 4:6-7 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Surpasses understanding? Yes, that describes the incredible peace I had! Guess what happened to the stupid things I had been worrying about? They were all fixed....within 48 hours! I'm not saying we're always answered that fast, but God has so much planned for us, if we'd just trust in Him! There are so many amazing things He's got going on, but we need to lean completely on Him, and that's what He has been teaching me this week.
