Lately I have found myself extremely overwhelmed, stressed, irritable, and just plain unhappy.
Why?
I am only beginning to understand, but what I have found is that I need to turn my days (and what they hold) over to God.
If I fully trust Him, and believe that my life is an open book, one that he already knows the ending to… then all of the above feelings are robbing the joy He brings. If I REALLY trust Him, is there “bad news”?
I don’t think so. I mean things may not go the way I plan them, but when do they really ever go the way I plan? Isn’t it all His plan? Doesn’t EVERYthing, the good and the bad have to go through His loving hands to find itself in my life?
When my husband calls to say he didn’t get the extra time off, should I be bothered? Or trust and be thankful? When I start my day with a To-Do list and none of it get’s done, how should I feel?
My goal from this point on is to say and MEAN “Not my will, but yours oh Lord”. I pray today that His will not only be done, but that my heart would gladly embrace His will and thank Him for it!
So I give this day to you Lord, may you do with it what you see fit, and may I know I’m blessed regardless of what this day brings or where life takes me today. Help me to be thankful for every twist and turn my life takes, and not try to take matters into my own hands
