We sang this song at fellowship on Friday, and the words sunk into me.

Still - Hillsong
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
These words spoke to me because a lot of the times I want to be able to do everything on my own, to be able to take care of myself, to be independent. I'm not someone who really likes asking other people for help, especially when I know that it is something I can probably do, but just might take longer than what I expect from myself, or because I don't want to bother them. I can't always do things by myself, on my own. There are just so many things that are bigger than me, things that I'd need someone else to help me with, or that require team work, etc. I still have to learn that I'm not really in total control of my life, but that doesn't mean I have to go into panic mode and stay in my safety zone. What I really need to realize, is that my life is in God's hands. He has total control, and He is the only person that has total control over my life. Oh what a relief! My life is in the hands of someone who knows everything, who can do anything, and who is just and good.
Doesn't that just give you a feeling of relief? It does for me. Sure, it can be hard to always do the right thing, or make the wisest decisions, but ultimately, God has total control - if you let Him have it. God can turn your world around, He can release you from all your burdens, all your addictions, pains, and sufferings. You just have to trust and believe in Him, and do your part. By drawing closer to God, by doing your best in everything. God has never, and will never let me down, and because I know this, I just have to complete the other 50% (probably less, even) of the work, to be able to charge through any task. Nothing is too big for God to handle, no matter how big it may seem to us, humans. I know that this is a really difficult thing to do - to put your faith in God when maybe you don't even know Him that well, or maybe you haven't really seen Him at work in your life or whatever the situation is; but I know that if you do, great things can happen, and it will change your life forever. Remember that you are never alone when facing challenges. You will always have God, and you will also have those around you that God has blessed you with - other people that are going through similar struggles, or maybe people that have already overcome the struggles you're facing now. So take advantage of the opportunities and blessings that God has given you! You will discover God's power and it will reinforce your faith in Him even more.
I'll leave you with this song today:
