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