overwhelming GRACE<\/p><\/div>\n

Overwhelming GRACE<\/strong><\/h1>\n

by Lydia Floren<\/p>\n

When life seems overwhelming<\/a>, it is hard to wait on God. And even when we choose to be still, \u00a0our minds can continue to race, robbing us of this precious time to re-energize and refocus.<\/p>\n

Praying GRACE<\/strong><\/a> is an awesome way to break free of swirling thoughts, and drink in God\u2019s peace and love.<\/p>\n

G<\/strong>ive thanks:<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, God, that you are here. You love me, and those Iove. You know exactly what is going on. You meet me right where I am and are leading me in the next step. You are powerful and have everything under control. I am safe.<\/p>\n

R<\/strong>elease:<\/span><\/p>\n

Father, you know all of these things swirling around in my head. I just leave them one by one at your feet. You are in control. I don\u2019t need to be, and frankly, I can\u2019t be.\u00a0 Thank you for helping me to see that. Forgive me when I try to take control instead of trusting you.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>ccept:<\/span><\/p>\n

Father, I accept the lighter load of following you, instead of trying to figure out everything on my own. I accept Your leadership and direction. Right now I choose to listen as you speak through your word, and your still small voice within me.<\/p>\n

C<\/strong>ontinue:<\/span><\/p>\n

God, I choose to continue moving forward in the way you have already led me, trusting you to make clear any changes that need to be made. \u00a0Thank you that even if\/when things don\u2019t seem clear, you will open doors, close others, helping me to see plainly which way to go.<\/p>\n

E<\/strong>njoy:<\/span><\/p>\n

Father thank you that I can just enjoy the day in front of me, knowing that You’re with me–reassuring, guiding, loving. I can enjoy each moment knowing that you’re taking care of everything, and that you have the big picture in mind.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
