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.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
