I can rest comfortably in your presence when I’m alone with you.
Soaking up the warmth of the sun, feeling the gentle breeze on my skin and enjoying the melody of the birds sitting on my porch is heavenly.
It’s easier to breathe, slow down and relax.
In this very moment I can believe that everything is going to be okay even in the midst of our suffering world.
The second I walk away from this rejuvenating sanctuary I forget you and I step into fear. Immediately I start trying to control my life…. and those I love.
Help me Lord to let go.
Help me to release my grip and trust you.
Trust your love.
Many times I beat myself up because I cannot live out my faith perfectly.
Fill me with your grace.
Give me strength to extend grace to myself for all my imperfections.
Just for today I will take time to open up my hands to you and let go.
When I start to feel anxious I will look at my hands and open them up to you. I will let go.

I need to let go of “unforgiveness” that I feel toward someone. The feeling of not being able to forgive just burdens me and doesn’t bother them at all. I am the one struggling with not being able to forgive. Lord, please help me to forgive and forget.
Melissa I pray that you are able to completely release this burden to the Lord. I understand how you feel. At times I’ve carried unforgiveness for years!!! And all it does is make me feel yucky inside. Love you and thanks for being real here. xo
My son just graduated and can’t figure out his next step. His plans have changed from mission work with YWAM, to 4 or 5 different colleges, to now taking a volunteer job in Puerto Rico to experience life. I want to step in and control his plan but I can’t. He has to find his way and he belongs to God. I know God has this but I still find myself thinking a lot about what he needs to do. I pray a lot and worry a lot. The two things are not compatible. I need to truly let God have control. It is so hard to become a parent and so much harder to stop being one and let them grow up!
Oh Tracy how I can relate about how to let our child grow up!!!! ugh!!! This is the story of my life right now. My daughter is turning 15 soon but I’m too much of a “smoother”. I pray you will find peace in trusting the Lord with your son. My heart aches with yours. xoxox
I need to let go of beating myself up for past sins/behaviors/choices and to truly accept that God sees me as His flawless, beautiful child. I also need to stop criticizing myself for every mistake and accept and love my body as the wonderful gift it is from our heavenly father.
Elizabeth I feel like you are in my mind! Same thing here with me. I struggle with the same thing. Praying today for you to accept your beautiful self just the way you are….imperfections an all. Let’s do this together today sweet friend. Much love! Thanks for being real here.
I am just overwhelmed with everything right now. Would like to stay in bed and cover up my head. I know that won’t help anything so I am trying to put one foot in front of the other. In addition to that, issues with my neighbors who are renting the house next door. Partying all night, beer cans thrown in my yard, pit bull running loose, etc. etc. Thanks for the prayers. I am on your waiting list for coaching.
Kathy I want to encourage you and give you a big hug! I understand exactly how you feel when you say you’d like to stay in bed and cover up your head. Keep taking those baby steps and I promise you will feel stronger soon. Praying Romans 12:12 for you today. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Much love to you.
Linda, once again I feel like your words were written just for me today! I came out onto my deck this morning…sun shining…birds chirping…coffee in hand. With only a few minutes I asked Him for grace…for forgiveness…for help to stay aware of His Presence…instead of forgetting and going it alone. Praying right now for all of us here…asking once again for forgiveness and grace…His help and strength to never give up…God bless!
Thank you Mary for praying for all of us here. Praying Psalm 62:8 for you this morning. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. I pray you will stay in his presence today sweet friend. Love you!!
Please pray for me to have a closer walk with the Lord.I am disabled now and have a hard time trying to get out and haven’t been able to attend church as I use to and I really miss it pray that I will continue in my witness and that God will use me where I am.i know He will.Thanks for caring about others and remember I keep you in prayer.
Thank you sweet Linda for keeping me in your prayers today. I pray Psalm 62:5-6 for you this morning. Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. You are a beautiful soul my friend. The Lord has a special plan and purpose just for you where you are. I pray for you to feel connected and loved by others as well. Thanks for being here. ((hugs))
My youngest son, almost 16 is pulling away from the Lord. My middle daughter, 17 is making bad choices with a guy we don’t approve of. My oldest two were nothing like this. I don’t know how to handle it. My heart is crushed. Anxiety is taking over. This burden is too much. I don’t know how to let go of the constant nagging anxiety. Can’t sleep, barely eat. I keep giving it to the Lord yet I still carry it at the same time! Impossible!
Tanya after recently going through one of the most painful trials in my life I understand how you are feeling physically, mentally and spiritually. I want to encourage you to hang on. To keep giving it to God even when you don’t “feel” like it or have anything in you to give to God. I promise God is faithful. He loves our children more than we do. They are his. Even as I type these words I know later today I could be feeling all out of sorts yet again with my situation. All I can say is take it one day at a time. Don’t look back or ahead. Just focus on today. Believe God is for our children and loves & cherishes them more than we could. Love you sweet sister and I’m lifting you and your family up in prayer. xoxox
