1. Pray. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18—“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
+God hears you. He can handle hearing about your doubts or weaknesses. He knows your struggles.
+He knows your pain and is strong enough to handle your anger. He wants that communication from you.
+Every time you have a need or a thought throughout your day, go to Him in prayer. Don’t cease!
2. Trust. Proverbs 3:5—“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
+This is where it gets tricky—trusting God’s timing and plan above ours.
+We cannot lean on our understanding of the situation but trust that God has a bigger/better plan than we could have imagined.
3. Be Still. Psalm 46:10—(He says) “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
+The words “be still” derive from the Hebrew word Rapha, which means to be weak, let go, release, or surrender.
+Surrender is such a beautiful thing when we lay down our own plans or wants for what God has.
+When we surrender, we allow God to move according to His plan.
+His plan doesn’t have to follow our wants or demands, but it will always be perfect according to His will.

๐ Father God help us to be still when we are up against adversity. Help us to be still when we can’t see Your plan.
+We surrender to Your will for our situations and our lives. In Jesus name, Amen. ๐☝️๐ช๐ป๐
