It's Time To Trust God With All Of My Life, Not Just Some Of It

I forgot that I have no power, and that I cannot do anything on my own, without Him.

It's Time To Trust God With All Of My Life, Not Just Some Of It
Taylor Markee

I was on the phone a few weeks ago with someone, and she asked me a simple question, that I typically don't put too much thought into, it was a simple question "how can I be praying for you this week?" I have a lot of Christian friends so that question pops up a lot of times, but when I answered her, I realized that I had to make some changes in my life. My answer was "to help my trust in God, I trust Him, but only with certain parts of my life, I want to be able to confidently trust Him with everything."

I forgot that I have no power and that I cannot do anything on my own, without Him. He is the one that wrote my story and knows what is going to happen in the days to come, while I am left here still wondering. On Friday, I realized, that it's time for me to trust God with EVERYTHING.

I hit rock bottom Friday night. I felt scared, and I could not see a light at the end of my tunnel. It was then when I realized that I was not trusting God. Fear creeps up in our lives when trust is not present. When God told me to trust Him with my future I knew that I should do just that, but there's a certain about of uncertainty that comes with placing that trust. But the comforting thing is that we are placing our unknown future, into the hands of a known God.

It has been an uphill battle every day trying to get to a point where I can confidently say that I trust God. When we trust God, it gives us a better sense of freedom because I don't have to worry about what is going to happen. I can surrender everything worry to Him knowing that He has my best interest in mind.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
