What I Have Learned About Giving it All to God!!!

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,
I pray everyone is doing well!!! I felt the need to write on what I have learned about resistance to God's perfect will!!!

When we pray for something and we don't see the results right away, then we can become very discouraged, anxious and a little bit angry!!!

If this sounds like any of you, then, please continue reading...

I have noticed that in my walk with our Savior, that I must fully submit to His perfect will!!!

This means that I will not always get my own way!!! This means that things may not happen when I want them to happen!!! This means that I may become upset or anxious because I have prayed and I don't always see the results, right away!!!

So, how does one overcome this one??? You pray and your pray and pray over the same thing, yet, you do not see the results in your time, or maybe not in your way and you may become very low in faith, frustrated and even a little angry, at times!!!

We are strange creatures!!! Most of us like to have things done in our timing, in our way and if we don't get our way, then, we tend to become very low in faith and suffer many anxious moments, just wandering and wandering, when and if our prayers are going to be answered!!!

The bottom line is most of us are very spoiled and we just can't seem to accept that things do not always happen just when we want them to, how we want them to, and in the way we want them to!!!

I have prayed and prayed over certain things, and have become very frustrated when things did not happen in my own timing!!! Then, I would sit and wander why I was feeling the way that I did...

So, one night I just began writing, until, I found out what my problem really was...Here was my problem...

I realized that I was asking God's perfect will to be done in all things under the sun, but, when it really came down to it, I wanted my will to be God's will!!!

Does this sound familiar to any of you out there??? So, which is it, do we really want our will, or God's will to be done???

I did not realize that I was being what the Bible calls double-minded in my way of thinking and double-mindedness can cause much stress and anxiety and is not pleasing in the eyes of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!

It is kinda like asking God for something, then, when it doesn't happen when we think that it should, then saying...God I believe, and the next minute saying...God, I need to pray about this once again, since, I feel the need to do so, because I am not fully believing and I refuse to stop praying on this one until you answer me by saying "Yes"...

One minute believing and the next minute, doubting what you believed, and at the same time never ever submitting to His perfect will!!

It is kinda like playing "God" or trying to force God into saying "Yes" to when, how, and the way we want our prayers answered!!!

What I learned is that sometimes, the answers to our prayers is "NO" for our very own good!!! For the Bible says that everything works for the good of those who love the Lord!!!

God sees into our future!!! He has the "perfect plan" for our lives!!! We only see part of the picture, but, He sees the full picture!!!

I truly believe that we need to pray and show God that we "trust" Him by just "letting go and giving it to Him"...

How can we say that we have faith, if we do not trust the ONE who we are praying to--to anwer our prayers???

Why do we continue to repeat the same prayers over and over??? Did we not have that "perfect faith" to know that He heard us the first time???

Trust means to have faith in what we are praying for!!! When we ask our parents for something, then, we trust them to do it for us and know that they will, if it is in "our best interest"...

I have learned to pray, then say, "Jesus I trust in you to take excellent care of this situation, and I know that You will if it be within Thy Will, since you see the future and You know what tomorrow holds for each of us!!!"

Then, when that doubt tries to creep into my mind, I just take Satan back to the place where I earnestly prayed and I say, "Satan Get Behind Me" then, he has to flee because he knows that I am not going to believe one single word he says, since, in my mind, all that I can see is where I fell upon my knees and cried out to God!!!

Of course, when I fill led by the "Holy Spirit" to pray, then, I just fall down upon my face and ask HIM to make utterances for me, since, He knows what I need to pray about, much more than I possibly ever could know...

I firmly believe in following the leading of the "Holy Spirit" for He can never ever lead us in the wrong direction!!!

Do we not know that God has the perfect plan for our lives, as well as the lives of our spouses, children, family and loved ones…

How many times does He have to remind
us that He has it all under control, until, we finally get it…

We know that all of our negative fears are unfounded…

"So what if" life is not going the way that we want it to go??? God knows how to take care of us, and He always does what is in our very own best interest!!!

Who says, that we have all the answers anyhow, since, we are only human beings??? Maybe, just maybe, if we prayed, trusted and submitted ourselves and our problems totally to Him, then, we would finally find that "Perfect peace which surpasses all understanding" and our days would be filled with it!!!

We must never forget Jesus is the potter and we are the clay...We have no right to ask the potter why this or why that, since, it really is His business, and none of ours, why He allows things to happen as they do in this life!!! He made us from the very dust of the earth, and we are His very own!!!

I want everything to be done according to His will, since, He loves us soooooo much and He knows what is best for those whom we love dearly, as well as all of His children..Amen and Amen!!!

I love each of you dearly and I pray you all rest well tonight sheltered beneath the wings of Our Almighty God!!!
