God day 2

Today, I have spent most of it in prayer and reading theBible. I would share the many versus I have read in hopes to put out my own demons that I am facing today, but it is just too much to write. But I will say this, if I choose to dwell on the issues God can't help me. I can read all the versus I want that would offer me peace and guidance, but until I learn not to dwell I can't have any resolve.

So before I go any further with my day, which hasn't been a good one to say the least, I am going to turn it all over to God. Trust in him that it will all turn out okay and if it doesn't then he will give me the strength to get through it.

Isaiah 30:15 This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One os Israel, say: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust in your strength, but you would have none of it.

Chuck Swindoll in reference to this verse: What's something you feel pressured about? Are you trusting God with it? How about talking to Him right now about the pressure you're feeling. Trust God with it today, tomorrow, and however long it takes for you to sense His - not your - control of it.

This is a big deal to me. One issue that I always have problems with is I fear what I can't control. Turning that over to God isn't easy for me, but sometimes worrying and fretting over issues just isn't worth it. So I am taking a deep breath and handing it over to the Lord.
