Relax and let God
Feb 21
God has been teaching me about myself and how I react sinfully when I am afraid. For instance, when I worry about money, my first reaction is to stress out and frantically look for ways to bring in more money. Money has been tight for a long time and I felt myself falling pray to sin by wanting to take control of the situation.
This time, instead of trusting myself, I thought, I must pray. I prayed, “Lord, more than anything help me rely on you and not myself. Help me to develop a trust in you when you promised to take care of us. Most importantly Lord, help my unbelief.”
God does not want me to do nothing and to sit back and just expect manna from heaven, but He also wants to teach me to trust him. I am learning to find the balance between allowing Him to work through my faith in seeking him first while at the same time, understanding the need to plant some seed in the ground. All the while continuing to praise and worship him.
