Greetings My SISTUHS! The topic of the day is one that I have been dealing with on a personal level for quite a while now. There has been recent situations in my life that have caused me to pray and pray hard. For me, I have come to realize that God is definitely up to something in my life, and it is a process of elevation. I will be honest, when the issue comes up I spazz out, at first. But then the way God does it is that when I go to church service or sometimes riding in the car listening to the radio, He provides a word or comfort. He allows me to recognize the relief immediately, and then I repent for 'worrying' in the first place. There's an adage that says,"If you pray don't worry,if you worry don't pray". But our carnal man's first inclination is to figure it out ourselves and what can we do to make it happen and happen quickly. And then it kicks in that we can not make it work out. So, stage left, take off your wonder woman cape and let God do His thing. In the past few months, God has proven Himself to me in an awesome way, as only He can do! As I type this blog response, I pause at the remembrance of God bringing me out over and over and over again. He calms my fears and soothes my doubts. As I continue to mature in Him, I have begun to listen to the words of the old hymns of the church that I have sung and have heard sung over the years. 'What a friend we have in Jesus', especially the verse that says,"Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry EVERYTHING to God in prayer. I realize how easy it can be to enter into complacency in our faith. Because, If we would be honest, we can quote the words to these songs while thinking or doing something else. I have learned to gather myself, shake myself off and get down to business with God regarding the needs and issues of my life. After all, He promises never to leave or forsake me, He said that He never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread, He said that He knows what I have need of even before I ask. So what is left for me to do. PRAY and not WORRY! Peace and Blessings my SISTUHS! GodsChick
