Surrender

Letting Go

I have learned over the years that the more I rely on myself and try to make everything happen without asking for God's wisdom, guidance, and will for my life, the more I struggle. It's as if I'm a fish trying to swim upstream...forcing, pushing, paddling, only to feel defeated, broken and exhausted. Always ending up right back where I started.

Is there something going on in your life that you feel you need to ask for God's loving direction?

Don't continue to swim in the wrong direction...with God's guidance He will PUSH you through the strong currents of your life. COMPLETELY SURRENDER TO HIM! He is your Father in Heaven and wants you to trust and have faith in HIM.

POEM: STAND IN FAITH
Stand in faith
Even when you can’t see your way
Stand in faith
Even when you feel like you can’t face another day
Stand in faith
Even when the tears want to flow from your eyes
Stand in faith
Knowing that our God will always provide
Stand in faith
Even when you feel that all hope is gone
Stand in faith
Knowing that He is always there for you to lean on
Stand in faith
Even when you feel like giving up
Stand in faith
Because He is there ... saying, "Just look up"
Stand in faith
Even in those times you feel so all alone
Stand in faith
Hold on and be strong, for He is still on the throne
Stand in faith
Even when it’s hard to believe
Stand in Faith
Knowing that He can change your situation, suddenly
Stand in faith
Even in those times you feel it’s hard to pray
Stand in faith
And believe that He has already made the way
Faith ... is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
So stand in faith
Because you already have the victory!

--Evangelist Johnnye V. Chandler

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it will obey you." Luke 17:6-7

Walk by faith not by sight...
