Surrendering My Fears To God Has Freed Me In Ways I Never Thought Possible

My junior year of college has brought a lot of fears into my life. It has challenged my trust in the Lord. A few nights ago, after I had gotten home from studying in the library, I was feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I proceeded to ignore the feelings, and make dinner. After I ate, they were still there, nagging on my heart.

I decided to sit in my living room and turn on some worship music.

Worship music is basically the cure-all. Whenever I feel lonely or worried I throw it on. Lately, I have been listening to Lauren Daigle's new album, and it just continues to pour truths into me, every time I hear it. As I sat on the floor in my apartment, I was soaking in the truths that were being sung in these songs. I opened my bible and started to read, I also started to pray, and pour my fears out to God.

It was at that moment that I heard God.

I heard God tell me to surrender my fears, and to trust in Him. I started to cry, and I texted a friend about everything that had just happened. The excitement that she showed, made me feel so loved. She was so happy that I was able to trust God, and surrender everything. That night I felt freed. I felt loved by God. I felt like God truly has me in the palm of His hands. I finally feel at peace with my life, and my future. I know that God has a plan for me and that me worrying about it, is not going to change a thing. It has taken me many years to reach this point, but I am so thankful that the day has finally come and I can confidently say that I trust God.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
