LEAVE IT WITH GOD!
Greetings church family!
“As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend.
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my Friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
"How could You be so slow"-
"My child," He said,
"What could I do? You never did let go."
- Loretta Burns
Church family, I know that each and every one of us have challenges in our life. Some of the challenges are known by others, and some of them are only known within. These challenges can bring us stress, cause us to worry, and even lead to prolonged anxiety.
I appreciate Paul’s wisdom regarding this in Philippians 4:6. “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” We have a heavenly Father who listens to us, who cares for us, and is ready to fight our battles for us.
All of that said, how often do we present our requests to God, only to take them back with us as we leave our prayer space? If you find yourself both constantly worried and constantly praying, my prayer over you is that the Holy Spirit will help you discover how to truly leave with God what you present to God in prayer.
Remember, God is for you, God is with you, and God loves you!!
