Lord please help me give you control

Proverbs 3: 5, 6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Psalms 37: 4, 5
"Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

Father, I don't understand! But I know I don't have to because you will, as you always have, gotten me through life's quirks. Although, the trials and tribulations may sting a bit, I know you will get me through. Why is it so hard to give my up control? I no longer want to be held back by my human tendencies. It is my prayer that you send the Holy Spirit to lead my life. Please return soon my Lord!

Aww, sorry that you are having such a hard time. Sometimes I want to be in the "driver's seat" as well and thinks go to crap=( Praying for you. I'll be in Loma Linda for Memorial day weekend. Maybe i'll see you and Er! Take care.

Thanks for your prayers Bev. I need them. Things have gotten worse in the past week and just tonight I had a little more stress added (matters of the heart...unfortunately). But God is in control right? He isn't suppose to give me more than I can handle. My heart still aches though.

On a happier and funnier note, I actually hung out at your brother's place with Jeff and Mitch. In a separate blog I'll tell you about the "car towing" incident; and not just one car TWO! LOL

I can't wait to see you on Memorial day weekend! God bless you Bev and thanks again for your prayers.
