One of my very favorite scriptures in the bible is Exodus 14:14. I guess because I am always trying to fight my own battles instead of letting God fight them for me. I was meditating this morning on the victory of over coming stress, worry, fear.....Attributes I've carried my entire life and am diligently seeking a breakthrough from. In my study this morning I learned if God is ruling over my heart then victory is possible. That left me to question, am I really allowing God to rule over my heart? What does it really mean to surrender, to let go and let God fight on your behalf? So, I looked up the definition of surrender. How interesting it is to me that pretty much the whole outline was "give up". Doesn't that seem to be the opposite of what the world tells us we should NOT do? In the spiritual realm thats exactly what we are called to do......to give up, surrender all that we are in the flesh and let God be God. He is the only One powerful enough to conquer the demons that haunt us and attempt to control our minds by planting wrong thoughts.
Plain and simple God said to me, "Trisha, You not equipped to do what only I can do. Let Me take over the battle for you. Take a deep breath and rest knowing that I will have victory, in My perfect timing and in My perfect way."
Jesus, forgive me where I fall short and help me let go of the challenges of this life and allow You to fight for me. Give me the strength and courage I need to be the woman who desires to please You. Thank you Jesus for your mercy and your grace. I surrender and give my life to back to You....Amen!
