God's Strength To Let Things Go

I just want to thank God in everything. I cling to His promise on Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good to those who obey Him. God asks me to do what seems to be impossible and difficult to do. But when I trust Him and relinquish the need to control it, I felt a sense of peace. I can let go of everything as long as He's with me...

There are things that we think we need. But in the eyes of God, it's not what you really need at all. I prayed to GOD that I need to let it go but I can't. And I realize that I am capable of doing it using His strength. My desire did not appeal to God so I asked Him to take this away from me. Believe me, it shattered my heart into bits of pieces. But He made me realize that it is just Him whom I really need.

He had a purpose. Things seemed to be as clear as mud but I trust His purpose. I trust His ways. And what is important to me right now is the courage I have to obey Him no matter how difficult it is.

I just can't stop praising Him for the strength He provides. The circumstances allowed me to be hurt and broken but I am rejoicing because with His grace, I was able to stretch my faith once again. I said to Him, I can let go of everything just for you. If there are things I still need to surrender, I know He will help me. Right now, I was really grateful for having God in my life.. What can I possibly do without Him? The tough situation allows me not only to stretch my faith but to experience more of Him, to know Him, and to draw closer to Him....

The God of the Impossibilities

The trials are the best time to experience God's grace. It is your down moments when you feel God's strength.

I don't know where to start in this entry but I don't want to fail God to say thanks for all the marvelous things He has done for us and His faithful followers. I saw how God blessed me in soooo many ways--- my family, my job, my mission as a teacher, my students, my friends, my boyfriend, and most of all-- my intimate relationship with Him.

I know that God is always testing us in the furnace of affliction and He doesn't simply desire us to pass it. But He wants us to soar with it. Many times I felt beaten up but when His presence start to consume my being, I forgot everything. I know I was able. In times of my weakness, there I see His glory and awesome power.

I was faraway from my physical church with a little fellowship with my brethren. Sometimes, I'm losing my interest to pray and to read Bible. I can't even focus on my devotionals because I am baffled with so many uncertainties in life. There are problems that as huge as waves.It will temporarily weighed me down but God never failed to deliver me.

I need to step out on my faith when everything seems almost impossible. Relying on my own strength, I can never run in a battle without His help and armour of love. If I am going to analyze the situation, I am bound to be one of the backsliders and worldly Christians who compromise their values.

But with God, He serves as my inexhaustible strength, keeping me on fire despite that the situation is trying to weaken my faith.
