While reading in my quiet time, I read how Jesus calmed the storm when He and the disciples were in the boat out in the middle of the sea. In Mark 4: 39-40 (KJV) says "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"
That's what I tend to want to do all the time, I want to worry about everything. But, I am learning everyday to just hand over my problems, worries, fear, and other troubles to God. He is a big God and can handle anything we give Him. So, my question for you today is what Jesus asked His disciples "Why are ye so fearful?" Give God your burdens, He does not want you to carry them. He is willing and able to take those burdens off you; but, you have to be willing to hand them over.
Lord,
My prayer today is that I give you my burdens and let you take care of them all. With so much on my mind, I can not do it all, I need your help. So, Lord, I giving you my burdens and letting you take control over this situation. I pray for those who are reading this right now Lord, if they have the same decisions to make Lord, I pray they just surrender their burdens to you Lord. Thank you for this day Lord, for the blessings you have given me. In Jesus name, Amen.
God Is Able!
ReplyDeleteWhen my faith wavers and I begin to be burdened with worry and fear; I remember what Jesus tells me in Matthew 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Time and time again I tell others to take "one day at a time" and our God is able and bigger than any problem, yet all the while I'm worrying about tomorrow. Oh Lord, forgive me for not trusting You in everything, you have proved your faithfulness time and time again. One of my favorite songs, "Because He Lives" by Bill Gaither, The chorus rings true in my life
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the(my)future,
And life is worth the living, just because He lives! Let us experience this daily and take Jesus at His word. God Bless you precious Saints. Mary
I'm still learning how to hand everything over to God. I don't know how many times I have said "I'm going to hand it over" Yet I find myself trying to solve the issue myself...never works out well for me. It would be so much better if I would just hand it over to God to begin with.
