Thankful Thursday

Thursday, May 14, 2009

I prayed a simple prayer last night. I told Him, "God, I don't really understand why I'm feeling this way, but whatever it is that's bothering me, I'm surrendering everything to you - my fears, my worries, my thoughts... Even if I don't understand any of this, I'm choosing right now to trust in your ways and timing. I know they are perfect. Lord, I'm gonna sleep now. Good night. Love you."

I had a peaceful, good night rest last night. Thank you, Father. You truly are amazing.

How about you, what are you thankful for this week?

For more Thankful Thursday, visit Lynn over at Spiritually Unequal Marriage. Have a happy weekend ahead y'all. God bless! =D

It's Lynn's birthday today... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNN !!!

Amen. It's such a blessing to be able to surrender our fears and concerns to God. He is infinitely more capable of handling them than we are.

Such wisdom to go to God in prayer like that, Pia. He offers such sweet rest and comfort. Happy Thankful Thursday to you!

Happy Birthday Lynn. Even if we cannot understand what's happening to us, we must be thankful to God for everything. Life is ebb and flow. It is never constant. Just ride out your situation right now and continue to trust God and His unfailing love. Our God is a God of tests. He always put us to the test to see how faithful we really are to Him. But with every test, He gives an abundance of grace to see us through those trying times. I am always praying for you my sister in Christ. God always makes a way. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
