Don't Give Up...Give Over

Surrender all your worries to Him because He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7 FBV

What's weighing you down today? Is there a worry that keeps you awake at night? A concern that creeps into your thoughts as you read scripture or pray? Do you struggle to give these things to God and leave them with Him? That's a hard thing to do because you have to patiently wait on His timing and then you must trust His answer because you trust His heart.

The thing is that God truly cares about any worries that keeps you awake at night He wants to take away whatever struggles intrude in your Bible reading and prayer time with Him. No concern or struggle is too small for Him to care. Nothing is insignificant because He cares about every aspect of your life. You are truly cared for…by the One Person who can do something about the things that worry you! Trust His Love. Trust His heart.

God is completely sovereign. God is infinite in Wisdom. God is perfect in Love. God in His Love always wills what is best for us. In His Wisdom, He always knows what is best, and in His sovereignty, He has the Power to bring it all to pass.

Surrendering isn’t the same as giving up…not when God is involved. It means humbly placing ourselves at His feet. Then, we give up our desire for control and our pride. Under the care of God’s mighty hand, we give over the need to know when, why and how. So don’t give up…give over. Surrender is not a sign of failure. It’s a powerful step of faith.
