We sang this song in church this Sunday:
Oh, come and sing the song with gladness as your hearts are filled with joy. Lift your hands in sweet surrender to his name. Oh, give him all your tears and sadness, give him all your years of pain,
And you'll enter into life in Jesus' name.

I needed to hear this today. I’m facing a scary diagnosis and I’m really having a hard time. But God knows my fears and anxieties. I need to give them to Him. He’s in control and He has my best interests in mind.
Trusting God is hard. Giving up control is hard. I don’t know if the diagnosis I fear is true. I know there is something wrong, but it might not be as bad as I fear. Even if it turns out to be my biggest fear, God is still with me. God’s got this. God’s got me. No matter what happens, I will be okay. Not because my health is what I’d like it to be but because the God I trust will work it all out for good. Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Pastor Malcolm Brown said in the sermon, “If we let the spirit in our lives, we give up controlling our own lives.” We don’t have a mission to serve on our own. God sends us out. If He has more work in store for me, He will give me the health to do it.
I find myself so scared, I’m almost in shock. God has opened doors in ministry, and I hate to ever give them up but God knows exactly what He needs me to do. His goal is beyond me and my little world. He knows what’s best for THE WORLD! What needs to happen will happen and He is with me through it all.
