I have been saying "it feels like my life is falling apart" It seems like I break down and cry at little stuff. It seems like everyone around me is just growing and full of joy. Why I am I so heavy? I keep trying to pray, shake it off, put on my "big girl panties", be slow to speak and quick to hear, etc. Then last night I just said Lord I am getting in my bed and when I wake up I just need a refreshing in my body and my mind.
When things seem like it's falling apart, it really may just be falling in place. Life is a trusting game. It's all about who you trust, how you trust and when you KEEP trusting. I know it's easier said than done but our TRUST must be GOD! Yes GOD alone. When you place your trust anywhere else and in people you find yourself bitter and hurt because they are human just like you.
Today is a new day, new grace and new mercy. Be refreshed today in the faithfulness of a loving Father. If you have been hurt by people, forgive! When you fail to forgive those who hurt you, you become a wide-open target for Satan. So do not give Satan the pleasure of taking advantage of you. (2 Cor 2:10-11) Freedom comes when we rightfully surrender to God and recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord!
Stability in life can only be found in Jesus. He is a firm foundation. In him we must abide and have our being. When your roots are grounded in Him it may seem like everything is falling apart but in God it is all working together for your good. TRUST HIM! No matter what it looks like today or even if it looks the same tomorrow, look to God! He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Be merciful because the Lord is merciful to you!
The choice is really yours!!! Prayer does not change the situation prayer changes YOU. It changes the way you see people and the situation. You might be thinking "Why should I let them off the hook". And that is the problem. As long as you do not forgive, you are still hooked to those who hurt you! You are still hooked to the falling pieces in your life. The Lord is pruning us, removing the weeds, and some of us re-potting us in a bigger pot because we have out grown the old pot. If we stay in the old pot we will die! Change is hard when we are near sighted. The Lord is saying open you eyes and see GREATER things! Forgive today so that you can move into tomorrow.
It will cost you something, but it will be worth it in the end. So if life seems to to pressing in on you and it seems like things are falling apart, remember the Lord promise to be with you ALWAYS. He knows the plan and thoughts he has for you. He is a sovereign God and faithful! Trust him that everything is not falling apart it just falling in place!!!!
