I Give You Control!

Daily surrender. For some that may be easy, but personally I have to consciously release my concerns and let them go. I have learned to start and end each day with thanksgiving, releasing my daily concerns to my Heavenly Father.

This life can be tough, but the Bible states greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. Do not fear!

I know we all go through struggles and hardships. Concerns for family and friends. Letting go of those cares and giving them to our Heavenly Father who knows our every care, even before we ask , gives us peace the world cannot give.

Philippians 4:6-7“ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

You Are Perfect In All of Your Ways!

As the year wraps up, I look back and marvel at the protection and divine guidance of my daily walk thanking God for directing my steps, even when I did not understand. From the micro to the macro!

I recently had the pleasure to reconnect to a sister and her family after 34 years and marvel at the perfect timing for everyone. There are no coincidences with God!

In reflecting back on my journeys overseas and the connections I’ve made, I can’t help but wonder how God is using those connections for something awesome even though I don’t see anything yet. Faith is the substance hoped for and the evidence not seen. It is God’s divine provision in my past and present that keeps me excited about my future! How about you? Can you look back and see where God has protected and provided for you even when you didn’t see a way?

Recently my steps, and my daughter’s have been directed even when we did not see it at the time. From last minute airport changes to dead batteries, God was going ahead of us and making our crooked places straight! Sometimes our hardships are blessings in disguise. Learn to trust God even in the difficulties and know He is working all things for your good!

As the Bible states, God directs our steps, when we listen to His still small voice. Not demanding our own way, but daily surrender to His will in our lives, trusting Him to protect us. Yay though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for my God is with me.

My prayer for each of us this year is that we will see God’s fingerprints in our lives and learn to trust Him more, reflecting His love in us to all who are in our path! May God’s peace that passes our understanding, keep our hearts and minds fixed on Him, the author and finisher of our faith!
