My readers, how many of you have struggled with seeking help when you face something you can't handle? I think it is a very human problem to ask for help. Many want to be able to tackle everything life throws at them. I don't think I am alone in this. Seems the longer I live the more apt I am to seek help, though.
I want to encourage my younger readers to learn the skill of relinquishing. Since we know that we need each other to get through life than it stands to reason that we will need God more than we realize. He loves it when we are dependent on Him. So we are going to be at our best, enjoying what we are meant to be when we fall into a complete dependence on Him.
In my life this was not always the case. During some difficult years in the 90's I was totally running my life. I thought I had the world be the tail and didn't need help. I had just come out of a marriage that left me feeling beaten down. I was ready to take charge. After two years of doing my own thing it was no wonder that a jolt would be what it would take to get me back on track. My son's death was a pivitol point in my life turning around.
So looking up is a posture that I keep ever before me. I may not always do everything correctly but I have my life in the hands of the One that is perfectly in love with me. That feels great.
Lord, help me and my readers to completely depend on you for everything and every decision in our lives. Help us to step outside ourselves and see life through Your eyes. Amen
So looking up I keep moving. I know that as I move higher the climb will be met with 'broken' events that will only be healed because I am dependent on Him. Knowing that He is in control fills my heart with joy.
