Thank you God... For all

Today's  reading is filled with action steps... Simple yet hard, especially when circumstances shaken our faith. 
God asks us to:
1. Trust him... By relinquishing control ... As He is in contol. What do I need to relinquish control by trusting God?
2. Let go... What do I need to let go into God's hands... After I choose to trust Him first?
3. Respond out of love... His gift of love given to all... How do I respond out of love? I guard this gift by igniting it in my life by spending time in His Presence. His love, His Present. 
4. Pour out my heart to Him... As He knows it anyway. Be honest, be candid... What peace is experienced when I can pour out my heart to the one who loves me unconditionally.
5. Thank Him... For listening to me and hearing me... And answering me. He always answers even when I can't see the answers.  God... Always working behind the scenes on my behalf. Working ALL things for good ( Romans 8:28). He tells us to " be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). I will practice a lifestyle of thanks... Especially when my circumstances scream complain... How  hard to thank God when my heart feels unthankful... But knowing God is always working behind the scenes in my life, piecing  together my life for His glory... How could I complain? So where in my life do I have to start thanking God? 

So I thank you God for having all control over my life. I thank you for putting up with me when I am ungrateful. I thank you for for your gift of love, through your Son. I thank you that I am able to come to you and honestly pour out my heart to you. I thank you for answering all my prayers in your perfect way that is perfect for me. I thank you lord and will " be still knowing that you are the God" of my life.. Today, tomorrow, forever.

Trust. Let go. Pour out. Thank. The steps for a peaceful walk.
