Let Go & Let God

Disappointment,

anger,

fear,

concern,

intense love,

helplessness............the reality hits me at times how utterly helpless I am.

I cannot control situations: no matter how strong my feelings are, no matter how convinced I am of something, no matter if I am right or wrong. Some things are simply out of my hands. It is at this point when I have to let go and give those things to God. When I feel myself the most helpless, that is when I must come to terms with whether I really trust God, or not. If I trust Him, I must trust Him in all things and with all people. I can't trust Him only when things are going my way and I have control over my life. I must trust Him even when things feel chaotic and as if they're swirling out of control. I must trust Him when people that I deeply care for make decisions that seem so wrong. I must trust Him when my plans for the future take extremely unexpected turns. I must trust, because I am told to trust and because my own understanding is so flawed and skewed. I must trust, knowing that the One who created me also created everyone and everything that I love and holds it all in His hands.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not
on your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will
direct your paths." Prov. 3:5-6

"The earth is the Lord's and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein." Ps. 24:1

"I have made you and I will bear the burden,
I will carry you and bring you to safety." Is. 46:4

When You said, "Seek My face,"
My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek." Ps. 27:8
