Thatâs what God had to sit me down to remind me. I think as believers, we are quick to say things like âGod has it all under controlâ and not really trust that He does. We end up trying to do things our own way in our own time and end up frustrated, defeated, worried, exhausted, etc. when things arenât working out according to our plan.
I canât speak for anyone but myself but Iâm a plannerâŚI try to be solution focused in my thinking, and when things donât go according to my plan Iâm thrown off.
If youâre a âfixerâ you can relate. You know what itâs like to set goals, make plans, come up with solutions and see it all blow up in your face and it sucks. We spend so much energy on trying to, (dare I say) âbe Godâ when all He wants us to do is to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. Nothing deep and theological. Stop wrecking your brain trying to âunderstandâ.
I know itâs easier said than done and here I go about to throw a scripture out that I need to take heed to as well, but the Word says âTrust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and LEAN NOT on your own understanding. In ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.â
We mess up, I mess up with that âlean notâ piece. But breathe love. I know it sounds easy and you are likely rolling your eyes reading this, but when you get done fighting, and youâre at the point where the stress has worn you out, try it. Lift your hands to Him, give your worries and stresses, and just BREATHE. Donât worry about the next minute, how you are going to âfix itâ, or your future. Let Jesus be your peace.
In love & light,
