Devotional
Many of us struggle with releasing control to God because we’re taught that we must plan and work very hard. Yet all the planning and hardworking in the world don’t shield us from the unforeseen difficulties and challenges of life. The truth of the matter is, we must learn to give every situation to God. Not few, not some, but all situations. Have you ever wondered why the Psalmist proclaimed in chapter 55:22; it says,
Key Scripture
Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.Psalm 55:22 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
So, it’s amazing how many of us will jump to fix a situation without praying first. How we are so quick to embark on making important decisions of life without proper consultations of heaven. Beloved, we must learn to give and release our situations to God in prayer and trust. When we accept our dependency on God, He takes our desperation and changes it to hope. And what would have been a struggle becomes a walk over. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
When we give every situation to God and submit ourselves in prayer and fasting to Him, we find solace in His presence, even in the midst of challenges.
Responsibility
So, deliberately seek to give every situation to God, no matter how impossible it could appear, you will receive grace to overcome it.
Pause in His presence
Prayer
O LORD, thank You for Your Word today. Cause me, to give every situation to You in prayer and fasting, in Jesus’ name, Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)
Carry this with you
Prophetic Word
As you begin to give every situation to God, may the Lord sustain you and yours, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
