Let Go, and Let God

Already this start to a new year has had its struggles. God didn't promise a life without pain, but He does promise to be there through the tears. God didn't promise a life without difficulties, but He does promise a comfort to get through them. Sometimes it's hard to be thankful in hard circumstances. This is probably one of the hardest things for me to handle as a Christian. And yet, as I look back on all my past struggles, it's amazing to see what God has done through them.

Right now I am in the midst of something where I think I know what's best, and yet it would seem the complete opposite is happening. Right now when it seems like things are starting to fall apart, something inside of me can't wait to see the end of it, and see what wonderful thing God will do.

We all seem to think we know what's best, but sometimes the best thing we can do is to let go, and let God. Let God do what He wants to, He always knows what's best, even if it seems like circumstances aren't how we like. God exists outside of time and space, it's hard to comprehend in this small brain of ours, and yet, it's so amazing to think about. God is the end and the beginning, He already knows what our course is, and what the best way for His children is.

Provers 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding; in all of your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
