Turn it over to God



My heart hurts for hurting people today.  People that have everything they need to be happy but still find themselves hurting inside.  Where do you find yourself today?  How is your heart?  Are you struggling physically; emotionally?  Are you stressed?  What do you desire today?
Take a moment; sit back in your chair and rest.  Rest in the fact that the Lord is sitting there with you, then take a deep breath and let it out.  Talk to God, audibly.  Maybe you’re driving down the road and you just need to turn off the radio for a moment and speak, audibly to the Lord.  If you don’t know what to say then start with what you’re thankful for.  “Lord, I know you’re here with me and I know you already see my struggles.  You knit every part of me together beautifully and I trust in You but today, I am struggling with…”  
When we speak to God and believe in His presence, we can release our struggles and stresses to Him and relieve our spirits of the burden.  “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” Romans 15:13  That is exactly what the Lord wants for you today.  He doesn’t want you to walk through your day struggling and worrying about what has happened in the past or what may be coming in the future.  He wants you to crave a relationship with Him and turn your struggles over to Him.  Our God is a loving God in the highest meaning of the word “love”.  Our Lord created love and He loves His people, His children more than we’ll ever know; so today have faith and believe that He can handle what you turn over to Him.  Don’t waste any more of your time today, struggling.  Ask Him to help you and to take the burden from you.  It may not be immediate, but peace will flow into your heart and you will find yourself happy and rejoicing again.
