Do you ever think about what it means to give everything to God? I mean every part of your life, no matter how small it may seem or how messy. How broken.
Until recently, I know I didn’t. Oh sure, I prayed for a closer relationship with God and asked Him to show me ways to draw nearer through His word, but I never really got that He wants every part of me, not just the ones I choose to share.
Recently, God opened my eyes to this, and I started praying over the little things in my life, as well as the mountains.
It started with a slight pain in my side that I’ve dealt with off and on for several years. It was nothing serious, just mostly annoying. I prayed and asked God to take it away, and guess what—He did. I’m still praising Him for that.
God wants more of us than just to come to Him on Sunday or when our world is falling apart, He wants to be there with us through every moment of every day. He wants a relationship with us as a friend, a father, and a savior. I’ve finally gotten this, and I strive each day to include Him in everything that’s happening in my life no matter how small and I can’t tell you what a relief it is to realize I don’t have to struggle through the small things alone.
So, no matter what you’re going through, no matter how small or how big. . .pray. Bring it to His feet and let Him carry your burden.
Philippians 4:6-7 says,
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Until next time, dear friends, I wish you the peace that comes from trusting Him.
Many blessings!
Mary
