Let God LEAD You!

"So Father give me the strength,
To be everything you've called me to be,
Oh Father show me the way,
To lead them,
Won't you lead me?"
-Lead Me by Sanctus Real

How many times have I told God that I'm in control, that I can handle it myself, that I will provide for my needs. Countlessly. Something I've been thinking about lately is that I'm not in control. I can't handle it myself. I need God desperately to break this barrier of sin that is holding me back from giving God all that I am. I need God to gloriously intervene in my life and give me abundant joy. I need Him to teach me and guide me. I can't do it myself. This brokenness I am feeling, whether it memories or a trouble that's been on my heart...I'm going to bring it to God. My pastor Noe once said that God is only as big as you make your prayer life. Lately I've been..well slacking in my prayers. I'll say a 5 minute prayer before bedtime, but doesn't God deserve more? I want Him to be constantly active and involved in my life, in school, in everything I do. I need to be devoted to Him and focus on Him. I recently had a dream where the world was teasing and taunting me, but in the midst of all of this...God was my refuge. I need to not depend on the world's teetertoter, but instead focus on my Father, my Rock. I would rather have a shack in the Rock then a castle in the sand. God is good no matter what, and I need to let Him lead me. I don't know where I am going yet, who I am, but I know for a fact that God is going to lead me there and use my gifts for His Kingdom. I don't know what future I may have, but I know that I am God's Princess and He looks at me as a child with purpose and a bright future.

God deserves all of me. God deserves who I am. God is my life. Today and forever, I am letting God have the reins of my life. Because I know that when God has my life in His Hands, I know that it is good because the same hands gave me life, created the Earth, and held me in my darkest of days.
