Tell Him About it

Sometime last week, I was a little bit disturbed and as I drove home from work that day I started to think on what move to make next. Luckily as I got home, my partner was in.

I wanted a shoulder to lean on but unfortunately man was too engrossed with his office work and the only thing he said was OK. I bet he didn’t hear half of what i said. I mean, like seriously?

I felt a bit of anger swelling up from my stomach…..Before, I would have lashed out and got pissed off with him all day (transfer of aggression) I am a bit wiser now so I sulked upstairs and went to bed instead.

Next morning, I was still feeling awful, frightful and stressed, I dressed up for work. But as I drove down it dawned on me that I had not told God how I was feeling at all. Although He knows how we feel but unless we open our mouth and ask for His help, He will continue to wait patiently until we make the request.

We know He is a ever present help in time of trouble but are we conscious of His ever abiding presence and do we take advantage of this? I totally forgot He was with me 24/7 and all I needed to do was cast that burden on Him straight away and tell Him to handle it but instead I began to worry and was anxious and very restless. Taking the painkillers didn’t resolve the issue either.

Isaiah 26:3: “He will give perfect peace to those who trust in Him and whose thoughts stayed on Him.” I had peace when I told Him about my concerns. The issues didn’t magically disappear but instead He gave a word of assurance and wisdom on how to deal with it.

Today, I just want to encourage you to:

• Tell it to God

• Don’t stress about it

• Let Him handle it
