It is hard to let go of worry. It seems to be embedded in me to worry. I'm not sure why, but I know that it has been a part of me ever since I can remember.
Whether it is worrying about school, work, or getting things done to worrying about baby C or the future - worry seems to be the one thing that I struggle to give to God. I want to. I want to give Him this part of me, especially because it affects me the most.
This week I have read about worry and depending on God. I have read countless texts about giving worries to God and casting burdens onto Him. I have even been singing "Cast All Your Cares" to baby C. It soothes him. But I can't seem to just let it go.
So this next week I am working on letting worry go. I will need lots of prayer and reminders, but I want to finally learn how to do this. I want to really learn how to trust God for everything. Even all the little things. I need to really understand the words He says, "do not worry about anything". I want to learn this and live this.
So Great Hillari. We all would love to just let go of control of our lives. Well actually not, as letting go seems very scary. Let me re-phrase. We would all love to not worry and stress. Not loss sleep or dwell on all the stuff we can't get done, or accomplish perfectly. But what I am learning is that trusting Father is a process. It is knowing Father well enough that it is a no-brainer that everything is under control, even as things are not turning out like we had planned or desired.
ReplyDeleteAs we see His leading in our lives... His miracles that happen in the midst of the hurts, challenges, and trials of this world, our trust grows. You will begin seeing that even as these uncertainties in lives show up, that it is all just His will being accomplished... His agenda for our lives taking place... and it is all leading to deepening that loving/trust relationship with our Father. He is faithful... and the journey we are on is to reveal just how faithful He is. It is happening Hillari. As you seek Him, and live your life.... He is transforming you into a woman of faith. So enjoy your posts. Be blessed in the journey!
