What stops me in my anxious tracks is the worry that He won't do that wonderful something that makes everything OK again." I have to keep trusting that even when God doesn't act in the way that I want Him to, He is still in control. Thanks for your honesty, Sharon.Pam Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430692684579547400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-73748580678578923432015-08-11T06:09:11.131-07:002015-08-11T06:09:11.131-07:00I needed to read this today.

I'm exhausted and I've brought my stuff to God but I haven't trusted Him with it.

I "know" that He is able to do all His Holy will, but I get stuck trusting His goodness. His goodness in my life can often look like the opposite because I'm not sovereign and can't see what He sees. It's not about me, but His plan. His plan may not be to fix my situation so that I can be comfortable. That's the hard part for me. His plan for me may be hardship and troubles. My human reasoning says, "this is not good". God keeps trying to teach me, but I'm so feeble-minded and can't learn the lessons well. I purpose to, and am thankful for His grace in my slow learning.Kim Cunningham https://www.blogger.com/profile/15228475634696692073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-86683475946806910442015-08-10T09:12:02.467-07:002015-08-10T09:12:02.467-07:00Nothing is impossible with God and now we need to ...Nothing is impossible with God and now we need to take those words and believe them.

Great saying! <br /><br />I can't begin to recall all the times I've run out in front of the protection of the hand of our Father only to get attacked by the enemy and call God to bail me out of my earned consequences. <br /><br />I'm with you on the "fear" manipulating our lives. I've come to see fearing the things of this world more than our Father as revering and respecting the things in His creation, that He is completely in control of, more than Him... Not so different than idolatry really. <br /><br />Crazy how we fear the thing or person sitting in the palm of God right next to us... nothing escapes the sovereignty of our Father. You're not alone and thanks for the excellent reminder and inspiration.

James Taylor has a song that says "We ache to seize the crown you wear" and it's so true. <br />Laying down burdens is so hard because I've been taught to pull myself up and get 'er done. Rely on myself. That is true, but I have to take it further and then lay what I've done down and ask God to complete it. I do forget sometimes though, parading around with the cape and the crown.
