Prayer is powerful. But remember that God works in his timing, not yours. Have patience.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him..." (Psalm 37:7, NKJV)
Are you struggling with trying to make a dream come to pass? Are you frustrated in a relationship, trying to make someone else change or live right? You may mean well, you may have good goals, but if you are trying to orchestrate things to happen your way, on your timetable, you are only going to frustrate yourself. At some point, you have to turn those circumstances over to God and trust that He has your best interest at heart.
How do turn things over to God? Start by making the choice and declaring your resolve. Simply say, "Father, I choose to let You be God of the situation. I take my hands off, I trust You." Then choose to worship Him. Worship is one of the best ways to set your heart and mind in the right place. You can't worry and worship at the same time! Worship is a sign that you are trusting God, worry is a sign that you are trying to control things.
Today, take the pressure off yourself and turn things over to God. Give him control and let Him take your setback and turn them into comebacks. Remember, the God who holds the universe holds you in the palm of His hand. Trust him and let God be God in every area of your life!
