Give It To God

Proverbs 16:3, 3:5-6, Jeremiah 29:11, I Peter 5:7, Psalms 55:22, Matthew 6:33, II Timothy 1:7

Ever try to carry something that was heavy and bulky? The further one went the heavier the object seemed to get creating more difficulty. So it is with the problems and challenges of life as one carries them and tries to solve them in their human ways. We are instructed many times in the Scriptures to bring our burdens to him, leave them with God and trust Him in all things as we wait for His power to be shown in our life. We are also reminded in the Bible that God works in the heart of one’s enemies to change responses and actions. It is not that one should just do nothing, but waiting, trusting, and being obedient to the Lord are great keys to getting through situations that are causing problems and stress. Often God is working in the unseen and we just need to be obedient to the Word as He works in and on the hearts of everyone involved.

Prayer: Lord, I trust in Your power and presence to do what only You can do and I commit to obey Your Word.

Project: List ways you see God at work now and pray for His will in each situation.
