Prayer

During my faith journey, I continually find myself trying to control my life. Ultimately, I know it's not my place to control my path but it's hard to let go. Putting my full faith in God & knowing He is leading me on the right path is my biggest obstacle. I have been asking God daily to help me let go & trust in him.

I've found, if I listen, God is always speaking back to me. NO, He didn't pick up the phone & give me a call, but He is working through the relationships that I have. It can be through friends, family, or a complete stranger on the street. You just have to be open to receiving the message & open to new relationships.

This morning, I received an email about this exact subject. Although the message was great, the included prayer was powerful. He knew how much I needed it. I would like to share the prayer with all of you because I know I'm not the only one who struggles with this.

Dear Lord, the dark can be frightening.
Jesus, sometimes my ability to trust seems so much smaller than the step I need to take.
Help me to build a history with You.
A history of seeing You will help me trust You over and over and over again.
I want that. I put my trust in You.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
