I’m so on to God! He knows exactly the experiences we need to grow us up to become stronger, wiser, braver and bring us closer to Him. A small thing happened that got me thinking all sorts of craziness. And It was in my appointment with God yesterday that got me back to my senses. After reading Marianne Williamson’s brilliant book, ‘A Year of Miracles,’ I surrendered the entire situation to God:
“I give my life to God today.
Today I will not burden myself by thinking I need to run the universe. I needn’t control anyone or anything. I need only to show up fully with my heart and in my excellence.
I surrender everything to God, who lives within me. Every burden and decision I place in his hands. I know as I do so I will be led to divine right thought and action. The universe will arrange itself on my behalf.
How wonderful it is to relax at last and fall back into the arms of God. It is not a stiff neck but a soft heart that will guide my course of action. I will not forget to trust God today.”
It was if she wrote this specifically for me in that moment. I immediately handed that burden over to God. My sanity returned and I was happy again.
Here’s the deal:
We can truly relax with God, but we have to trust Him. So many things are not within our control to handle and we can turn those things over to God to handle for us. He’s great at that! We just need to go out every day being our excellent selves, doing our best with whatever we feel He’s asking us to do and leaving the rest with Him. “Don’t become bitter, become better.” “You shall hold your peace and God will fight for you.” “While we do this, we should not allow the weeds that prop up from time to time to overshadow the wheat.”
In Nigeria lately there are lots of bombings and even that I’m turning over to God knowing He’s our protection. The economy is not as strong as it used to be, but I’m trusting God that He’s taking care of us – we’re not going by the ordinary rules of man!
God,
Thank you for being a God who cares about us. Help us to always trust You knowing that You’re behind the scenes of our lives turning every situation to our good.
Amen.
WE ROLL WITH GOD
