... of things and letting God handle them is a hard thing to do. I'm struggling with it. I pray for relief from burdens and I feel fine for a few moments and then, it returns and I ask myself, "Why is this burden that I just prayed to God to carry for me returning?"
Someone said that it is because I am not focusing on God like I should be doing. That in those for moments when it is lifted, I'm focusing on Him so, He carries it for me. When I am not, it falls back on my shoulders. I'm having a very hard struggle with the whole "Let go, and let God" thing. I know that to some people my world might look at peace and put together but, its not. Those who now me know how my word has been turned upside down and rolled over a few times. I'm learning to hand things over to God. Its hard. In my struggle, I am having to constantly ask God to take away this or that burden and he does ... when I keep my focus on Him.
Just as I am typing this a certain verse came to my mind. It is found in Isaiah 26:3. It reads: "Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You" !!
That is exactly what I need to be doing! Trusting in Him!!! If I can just learn to trust God in ALL THINGS and not just in some things, I will be doing great.
Another erse just came to my mind!! Its is found in 1Peter 5:7. It reads: "... Cast ALL your cares upon Him for he cares for you"
You know, there is no use in fighting God in what he tells me to do! He tells me to trust in Him and to cast ALL (not just some) my cares on Him. All because he cares for me!!
Sorry (although not really) to have been preachy! I sure did need to write this out though and there was no better place to write it out then on my blog!! I feel so much better!!! I hope that someone has been blessed by reading this!

Great thoughts Kate---and so true! :-) Thanks for sharing them~
ReplyDeleteI was blessed by reading this and struggle with the same thing. So I appreciate your words and insights, Kate. And I agree! It isn't that we aren't going to think of our burdens, but each time we start to worry about them we can trust that God has them in His hands.
