The Lord has been really touching my heart and dealing with learning to Trust Him in a greater capacity. I thought I had great faith, but there are times when something pops up that I realize that I am not where I need to be in my relationship with the Lord. Do I Trust Him? Yes, I do, but I have learnt something about myself that even amazed me. When bad things happen I want to help God, to get the right answer. I am learning that God does not need my help, because I can only make a situation worse, instead of better. Today, as I was in prayer these passages of scripture came to me from Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. I realized I Trusted the Lord, but only to a point, when I couldnt see a way out, I felt like I needed to do something to bring closure to a circumstance. I have felt so overwhelmed at times, that I didnt know which way to go, yet, my answer was just a prayer away. Who did I think I was kidding? Not God, for sure. He knows the intent of my heart. The problem was, I wanted an answer the way it suited me, not Gods Way. I cant have Gods Will for my life and still go in the opposite direction of His Word. If I just call out to the Saviour, laying my burdens and cares at the Foot of the Cross, allowing God to work out the situation, better than I ever could, I would not wander in darkness, at times. Fear and anxiety would have no place in my life, if I learnt to Trust Him. I intend to give God my best, if I can Trust Him with the small things, than I will Trust Him with the overwhelming situations in my life. As Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He spoke these words in Luke 22:42, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. He knew He would go to the Cross for all Creation, yet He was willing to do so. So, Lord, I will learn to Trust you in Every situation, I will not murmur or complain, when the answer is not what I want, I will thank you even when I dont understand. I saw this powerful quote: When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty. Trust Him fully because two things can happen: 1. Either Hell catch you when you fall 2. He will teach you how to fly Either way we are winners in Christ....
