Give it ALL up

New lesson from God: Give everything to him. Let him have complete control of my life.
I have recently been pulling in all different directions trying to figure out what i need to do. What moves I need to take next...and trying to tell God what doors I think He needs to open...then, i stopped and thought, God doesn't need guidance from me one what to do in my life! I just need to sit back and let Him do His thing!
So, I said "ok God, I've been trying to control things and fix things, and start new things on my own, and it's all fallen apart...I want YOU to have full control. Whatever happens, let it be YOUR will, not mine."
And guess what, He is working it all out! The power of prayer never ceases to amaze me!
It feels soo much better to just give it all up to God. Not to worry--increases joy!
He knows so much better than we do what should be done in our lives.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." [Phil. 4:6]

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." [Jeremiah 29:11]

"You give and take away for my good, for who am i to say what I need, for You alone see the hidden parts of me that need to be stripped away, and as you begin to refine, I'm learning to let go, to rely, on the One who walks with me, as hard as it may be, you're teaching me all the while to say, Bless the Lord!"
