I learned this same lesson long ago when talking with a dear friend, Pastor Joe. When we pray, we talk with God and lay out our concerns. Then we need to have faith that He has answered. Instead of continuing to ask the same thing, continue to “thank Him for the answers that are on the way.” This has made a tremendous difference in my life. When I put into practice thanking Him, I am trusting Him and having complete faith in the timing of His answer. “Thankful prayers will keep your focus on His Presence and His promises.”
A good example of this is how we run our ministry with Raining Hope. We truly trust the Lord will provide what we need for the children. Even when we are low on funds, we trust that the Lord will take care of the children. There have been times when we have no idea where the money will come from. We are committed to not telling any “feel guilty” stories. We have had our share of difficulties! We have had times that there has been no food. Yet, we always trust that the Lord will provide. I have lived through those difficult moments with a sense of overwhelming peace because of the lesson I learned long ago from my dear friend.
The lesson of, “Let go, and recognize that I am God” has become what has made the biggest impact in my life the last 3 months. As I have truly LET GO, the UGANDAN DREAM has just exploded! We have many stories that can only been explained by the miraculous! “Trusting Him by relinquishing control into His hands” is truly life changing. Sarah Young expresses that it is a “gift that He plants in our heart.” You know how excited we can get over receiving a special gift? That is how I have felt these past few months as I have LET GO! I feel like I have opened up a gift that keeps on giving!!!!
One of my favorite verses that I rest in...
“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
Let Go. Be Still. Listen. Obey.
Trust Him Today!
