I can't fix everything!...and neither should you

Tweet

Lately (well my entire life) I have always been the one to try to fix things. And by things, I literally mean anything that needs fixed. I try to do everything my own way and make sure it's done the "proper me way". That put me under a lot of stress that I didn't need, even though I was doing it to myself. Recently however, I have learned that not only can I not fix everything, it is not my job to fix everything. Woah. That was a huge pill for me to swallow. Instead, I have learned that God can and does take care of me. Every time I need him. He is everything that I am not, and that is the exact reason I need Him. When I trust God to take care of me, and let him fix my circumstances, He provides for me and proves that he is trustworthy. He never fails me. When I give him control to fix everything, I have such a peace and joy (one that can only come from Him) A woman who tries to manipulate her own circumstances gets in the way of God trying to move. So not only does my way not work, it prevents God from teaching me and actually doing his job. Who am I to stand in the way of that? One important thing I have learned is that I do not say what is good. God does. His version of something good might be completely different than how I see it. God knows better though. So God knows what is good. Not me. :) I hope this has encouraged you today. Know that you don't have to fix everything. I know it is hard to let go, but once you do it is completely freeing and wonderful
