� Oct. 15, 2005 - Let Jesus Help You
| I just read a timely (for me) post over at abidinglove's blog. God is currently working on me in the areas of obedience and trusting in him and here is my response to her inquiry about how readers are learning to trust in the Lord:
I have struggled with the issue of "resting in Him" and I too discovered the powerful writings of Andrew Murray. How he has helped me in this area! Once I realized that the Lord himself has already provided the means for me to accomplish the seemingly difficult task of resting in him, I began to pray for such with complete faith that He has already begun that work in me. First, I read two more books by Murray: The School of Obedience and The Deeper Christian Faith. Next, I extracted some of the prayers from his books and wrote some of my own and put them on index cards. I began to pray from those index cards everyday that I might completely surrender myself, my family, my homeschooling and all of my cares on him. I have been so encouraged for it IS getting easier! Throughout the day, if I start worrying, I will call on Jesus to help me and I will begin to meditate on Him, his goodness and His Word. What God showed me was that although I had good intentions before, I was not relying on HIm to help me trust in Him! I guess I did not trust or believe that He would or could help me so I depended on my own willpower instead. After repenting for my prideful sin in that area, God was able to help me. I give him all the praise and glory and hope that my words inspire others who are facing trials.
Thank you, abidinglove for your inspiring post. |
