Surrendering more

.

Mic 7:7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

Today God has been teaching me about surendering, I have had some things that have gone on in my life lately that has caused me a bit of internal pain. This morning I felt so depressed, and there was a pain in my heart. I remembered a couple of prayers I've said lately where I prayed to God about something and he was faithful and answered it. So I prayed to God about my pain asking God and trusting in Him to heal it, it was only 10 minutes after I prayed this prayer that I started to perk up. And ended up enjoying the rest of the day. Then this afternoon something else came along that could have brought about negative feelings, I dwelt in my head and played scenarios and then I thought to myself, hey Jesus knows best, I am thinking of all my own ways to handle this situation but i'm not asking Jesus. Jesus knows all and is much much wiser then me, I know I can trust Him with my problems, there is no one better. I'm learning lately how to rely on Jesus, and trust in Him more, its a process but I have the best teacher anyone could ask for... God. I'm also learning about how I need people in my life and the importance of other people.

Free indeed

Today i helped Isaac and Jeremy with moving some stuff to Rays place. I really enojed the day and it was great to catch up with my brothers in Christ. Dinner was great, we went to sizzlers where we saw the prophets and the pastor eating as well, and also some others from another daniel, talk about coincidence..lol... anyway I was have been dweling on the grace of God this afternoon and how God has set me free from sin, I wrote the following in my journal and wanted to share it with everyone:

I was thinking this afternoon about my strugle with sin and thinking about a book called " victory over darkness" it says you can't be anything past what you believe. Then I realised God through Jesus Christ has provided a way for me to be free. Romans 6:11-12 (Amplified Bible)
11Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.12Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions
Through Jesus I acn believe because of waht Jesus did I am dead to sin and free from it (and alive to God). This is a promise of God whom we can certainly completely trust. God cannot lie!!! Sure I will still sin but I don't need to live as a slave to it, Christ has set me FREE!!!!

I know this is such a basic thing, but really start believing in yourself that you are dead to sin, you can because through Jesus God says you are!!!
