At times, this is still a struggle. I'm use to living my life on auto-pilot, just cruising through life. I haven't been intentional about seeking his guidance and help throughout the day. As a result, I have missed out of so many of His gifts, His power. My willingness to turn things over is getting easier, since I've realized that my will power isn’t enough. I have tried to do things my way, and in my power, but my will power is nonexistent. Even though I attempt to control my actions (and those of other people), my control is only an optical illusion.
I just need to let go and quit trying to get in the way.So often I go to God & give him my cares and burdens. Then a short time later I discover that I’m still carrying it around. I also realize that my flesh is so weak and often gets in the way. Why am I still crawling around like a babe in Christ. It’s time to grow up in my salvation.
I now realize that progress only comes when I daily submit my will to God and allow His power to take control. It's so amazing the peace I've found and how He ocmforts me. When I quit trying to do life in my strength, He gave me His strenght. I just wish that I had trusted sooner. I can be assured that He is taking care of me. I'm in "Better hands now."
