Give in

No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. Deuteronomy 30:14-16

Sometimes you wanna just get it all out! Ya know just pull over and dump out all the garbage that is in your mind...all the worries...all the fear...all the 'what ifs'...all the pride, anger, bitterness, frustration, pain, doubt, loneliness, distractions, confusion...these things put such weight on us, we long to dump them! So how do we do it?

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ. After you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 1 Peter 5:6-10

It is interesting to me that we are instructed to humble ourselves when we feel in need, when we feel worrisome with the cares of the world on us, we should humble ourselves even then, and submit to the exaltation of God. We can only exalt God if we humble ourselves, we cannot make Him any higher than He is, we must go lower, we must decrease. It is obvious that my strength, wisdom, or power is not match for His, I cannot save myself.
So I will call upon Him, immediately! Right away when I am feeling like my grip is slipping....I will let it go completely into His capable hands, because He cares about me, He cares for me, He restores my soul. Our Lord God, gave His Son Jesus to take on all our suffering! So He can get all the glory for the extravagant way that He loves His creation! He is not far off, He is very close! Let us give God His glory, by casting our cares upon Him, letting Him love us forever, and provide for us! Thank You Jesus! Jehovah Jireh our God who did not consider it too great a price to pay for our hearts with His very own blood. Thank You God, all our love and confidence be to You, Jesus!

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. Psalm 23
