Rest


      He is for you. He is not against you. He is in this, sovereignly in control of all things.


So you can rest.....and fight the battle at the same time.


     Rest in His love and care and support, and watch Him move even as you are strengthened in His love. You do not need to fight this battle. Step aside and allow Him.


What is impossible for you, is a ‘nothing’ to Him.


Yes, it ‘feels’ heavy, but do not give into how it ‘feels’; cling to what He has said it IS.


Even this heavy, impossible thing falls into His ‘nothing’/ ‘all things’ category....as NOTHING is too difficult for Him (Jer. 32:17,27) “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26) So allow Him to handle this.


     It is hard to carry and to bear.. so fling it upon Him… hand it over. Even this moment- give Him every worry and every concern and watch Him do what your worry and ‘control’ can never do. Be persistent in prayer- 'everything by prayer'.


Watch Him unravel the mess-(in His timing) because He loves you, and He cares..do not doubt that, Beloved.
And that is who you are: you are called, beloved, and kept. Jude 1:1 


Watch Him even unravel the mess in your soul that this 'impossibility' has unleashed. He is able to refresh your soul and perfect you as you cling to Him in the midst of the storm.


“Now to Him Who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to 
the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, 
majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and 
forever. Amen.” Jude 1:24,25
