In His Hands

I recently started a blog...no, not this one. Another one. Except my other blog got suspended. I'm really not sure why, I mean, all I did was talk about Jesus. Oh well haters gonna hate. Anyways, I was really sad about my blog being gone because I had lost the blogs that I had done. The last one I did was my favorite because while I was writing it, I discovered things that I had not known before. I was talking about it with a dear friend of mine and I told him that I really wanted people to read it because it meant so much to me. He then told me that maybe it was only meant for the people that read it, or perhaps it was only meant for me. That blog entry helped me realize how much God was working in my life. It made me realize that He has me in the palm of His hands and that I need only to love and follow Him. When my friend said this I realized that it was true. As I sat and wrote that entry, I cried out to God in happiness and laughter in realization that I did not have to worry. He is an amazing God that answers prayers in ways that we cannot even imagine.

We pray for patience and He most certainly gives us patience in ways that we think could not be any worse. I prayed for trust and I asked God to show me what it looked like to trust Him. Here I am not sure about anything in my life, living day by day, walking with Christ. He truly is directing my paths. I literally have no other choice to trust Him, He basically said, "This is what it looks like to trust Me." Although this life is hard and this lesson I am learning is not one I am fond of, I asked for it.

At the moment when I said I just want to take back my prayer and learn to trust God on my own, I realized that was impossible because without God i can do nothing. I can't keep my grades up, I can't keep scholarships, I can't have enough money for school, I can't better relationships with friends, I can't better relationships with guys, I can't do anything if I try to do it on my own. But with God, all things are possible. Things that seem hopeless and completely unseen, God says there is hope and shows me to trust Him in all situations  We might think that there could be a better way, but ultimately, God knows best. Trust Him in every situation and  stop worrying.

Philippians 4:6-7"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
