When the things of this world are too hard to figure out, I try to remember I am no longer of this world. That's because I gave my life to Jesus and when I did that, He brought me into His world. Not literally but metaphorically.
The worries I carry I no longer carry alone.
I can give them to God and He'll take them from me.
I don't have to be weighed down.
The burdens I shoulder can be set down.
They are shared with my Heavenly Father.
He is strong and able.
All the fear and uncertainty dwelling within,
Can be surrendered to Jesus.
He's walked that road and come out the other side.
I don't know for sure if these feelings originate from Satan or from human existence. I know once sin entered the world, these emotions did, too. In either case, God was there when they came to be and He knows how to help me.
Seeking God during these times is difficult. I am a "do it on my own" kind of person. I've relied on myself for so many years. Truthfully, I've been transitioning to relying on God more and more in the last eight years. I'm very thankful it's getting easier to do.
I'm learning God is a God of transformation. He is not content with me staying the same. He wants more for me. His desire to make me into the image of Christ is an act of love like no other I've ever experienced.
I thank you, Lord, for loving me with an everlasting love.
