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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
