August 12 - The Theology of Resting in God

Lord, I long to bring You joy.
There's so little that You ask.
In fact, what You require
Would seem a simple task.

You want me just to trust You
With all of my concerns,
To offer up my life to You
With all its twists and turns.

You've given me so very much
That I do not deserve.
But still there is a part of me
That I hold in reserve.

Don't let me wait too long, Lord.
Help me trust my cares to You
And not worry and hold on to them
As usually I do.

This is an amazing chapter to have today because I am starting to worry about my surgery Monday and getting the house ready and the laundry done and bills paid etc.  God is even better than Calgon at taking me away, if I just stop and stop.  "Be still and know that I am God".  I can be still and I do know who God is.  I will be praying that God helps me to let go of my worries and embrace my trust in Him.
