How many times have you desperately turned some thing or someone over to God, only to go back and try to handle it/ them yourself once the emotions that led you to surrender fade?
God wants you to trust His love for you. Sometimes we insist on carrying God-sized burdens, and that is not what you nor I are designed for!
I want to invite you to deliberately turn over the things that are sized for God’s hands alone, and trust Him to handle them. There is literally NO THING that He can’t take care of on your behalf!
Hear the Lord giving you this invitation,
Give all your worries and cares to [Me], [and allow Me to] care for you. – 1 Peter 5:7 NLT
Be encouraged Friend, God is inviting you to trust Him fully with all of the things that you care about. He genuinely cares about what and who you care about, and His love is experienced most through surrender!
For more encouragement on the power of surrender, check out my recent blog, Surrendered . And for encouragement around Trusting God, especially when He does not feel close, check out, Trusting over Feeling
Until next time, keep your hope living!
Sincerely,

Loved that, “God-size” problems. My problem stems from my desire to control everything around me 😢

Thank you for reading! I totally understand the challenge in wanting to control. God is truly helping me to learn to practice surrender regularly and I am finding more peace in doing so. I am also finding myself more present in my life, as I trust Him more. Instead of always going ahead of Him.
