I don't understand, you don't either but He Does

 Tonight at Care Group there was a prayer request that I found interesting and that I could  relate to.  He expressed that he was confused about a situation where he works.  He is unsure about how to approach this person during a meeting next week, what to say and all that. 

Well that made me think about how I've been feeling lately.  There have been things that have popped up that I sit back and wonder about, actually worry about it.  I feel like there are things going on that I don't understand which makes it hard to respond to. 

I'm sure in all our lives everyday we come across things that leave us confused, things we don't understand.  Things we want to understand and want to respond the right way.  But if we would stop in that very moment and pray. Stop trying to figure it all out on our own, our day and the situation or circumstance will go a little bit better. (and hold on and have faith it will end up good in the end)

Phil 4:12-13
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Dear Lord,

I ask that you help me and others to process everything we face in life through the filter of Your love.  We know that you love us.  But sometimes its hard to understand the circumstances that come our way.  At times we find ourselves consumed with trying to figure things out rather thank looking for Your perspective and trusting only You.  Thank you for this new way, Your way to look at things in our lives.

  1. Like you, I find myself worrying over things that I'm not sure what to think or do about. I'm slowly learning to just give it to God to work out.
