In His presence

I came into the presence of God one morning but I couldn’t pray because I was distracted by events going on in my life. God said to me, “You need to talk to me about these events. I just don’t want you to come to me and just pray away, but when you come into my presence, I want all your thoughts and worries”. I spent most part of my morning running through everything that was bothering me and oh my, that felt good. All the anxiety and stress I was feeling earlier all dissipated by the time I was done talking.

6-7 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG)

What I took away from that experience was that, God always wants us to trust Him with all of us; the good and the bad. We should not choose which part of our lives we want to give and share with God.

5 Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. 6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT)

God is our Father and He will always love us more than any other person ever would, but we have to trust Him enough to share our heart with Him.

May you be filled with the Fullness of God and the Power of His Love!
