I'm Letting My...Creator Decide
Saturday, May 05, 2007
I know without a doubt God loves me, but my humanness makes me forget sometimes when I don't see instant results that maybe I need to pray harder, or pray more, or try to help Him get it done. I mean what about that person in our family who is addicted to drugs or who is sick or who doesn't have that one on one relationship with Him? God could instantly deliver them!
I know He IS working, He is aware, He understands, He is doing what is best. Even when it doesn't seem like He heard that prayer I prayed for someone I love and care for. It may seem like the situation hasn't changed one bit, and they are still on their self destructive path. Still...He is working. I know He is!! God knows a person's heart better than I.
Which brings me back to yesterday as I was praying, I decided to tell God...Ok this is it, I relinguish my control, my rights, my way and I am going to let you decide. I told Him if you answer or you don't answer, I am leaving it in your hands. YOU DECIDE what is best.
I have faith to know you are working but it may not be the answer I want, because you know best. So I will serve you no matter what and I will trust you. And today I feel better about it, I know He will take care of it, cause I sure can't, I just don't have the answer or the power to fix it.

You are learning such a painful lesson. Blessings.
Dana that is a good decision ! Untill about 1 1/2 years ago I started realizing Gods Blessings , but before I could I had to learn patience and let God handle it ? Blessings. Ron.
i cannot tell you how many times i have cried and prayed those same words.
i went to a Beth Moore conference and she talked on James 1...trials...
the perserverence that the Bible talks about that results from going through a trial can be translated "courageous endurance"
i prayed this same thing yesterday and again today... **hugs**
Wow, you really reached my heart. Surely I feel like changing things about my loved ones who do not have that one on one relationship with my Only Best Friend in Heaven. Then again I need to be still and know that He is God iver everything in my life.
God bless
