I personally know how difficult it is to see God in all things. It is difficult at times to see Him when your heart is broken or you feel alone. It is difficult to see Him when someone rejects you or doors close in your face.
Over the last couple of years I have had to confront many mind blowing and heart wrenching trials that have left me breathless at times. I couldn't even begin to comprehend why I had to endure certain heartaches.
There were many nights that I laid awake wondering about my life. I wondered what certain loved ones were doing. I wondered where my life was headed. Anxiety often plagued my mind and desperation grasped my heart. I wasn't sure how to overcome the emotions that captivated my soul. I only knew that I didn't want to wrestle with them anymore.
I seeked God for His wisdom and began to understand that I wasn't supposed to try to figure anything out. He only wanted me to rest in Him....to trust Him...and surrender my heart to Him.
My prayer became "Lord, I surrender my heart to you. My heart is open to give love and recieve love. I desire whatever would bring me peace".
This simple prayer that came from deep within my soul was what began to release the shackles from my mind. I began to realize that God is in every aspect of my life. He is within the family members I worry about, His is in control of my career, and He is in control of my life.
He knows what would bring me peace in this moment of my life and that is what He allows to be in it. I may desire my marriage to be restored, a new job, more money, or something else but that doesn't mean those things would bring me peace. God knows what is best for me and I must trust and rest in His plan for my life.
Over all things I seek God's peace each and everyday and surrender my heart to Him. To open your heart to give love and recieve love means you are open to the unlimited. You are yeilded to His will. You are ready to be used by Him. You are a vessel in which He can freely flow and manifest Himself through without hinderance.
When we are focused on our feelings and emotions then we are not yeilded. We are too worried about feeling anger, pain, fear or disappointment. But when we are surrendered to God and His love then we are no longer bound by our fleshly desires and we give Him full reign. We allow Him to freely move and work on our behalf. We make room for miracles.
He knows what is best for you. His desire is to bless you and not hurt you. Just let go and seek His peace. His peace is where you will find your healing and deliverance.

God IS Everything
We don't include God in our lives as an after thought. We live and breathe through Him. He is our source of existance. We are nothing without Him.
It saddens me how many people see God as an outward source to whom they pray when times get rough. Someone they call up and consult when they are confused or in need of hope. Although I understand that this is one level of faith it is not all that there is. God says we should not live by bread alone but by every word that preceedth out of the mouth of God.
We are not to live on daily miracles. We are to live in the overflow of love. We have the living spirit of God dwelling on the inside of us. We lack nothing. The reason our outward circumstances often don't reflect this abundance and prosperity is because we don't know how to activate it.
We don't understand that God has given us power and authority to live in love, peace and joy everyday of our life. We don't have to struggle. We are to live through God. We are to live in the overflow of His anointing.
Whatever the word of God says is what you should be walking in. But these things are only obtained through obedience. We are to walk according to the word. We are to live by every word that preceeds out of the mouth of God. We are to walk in the spirit.
How do we obtain this level of faith and consciousness? By living surrendered. By resting in God. By trusting in His perfect will for our life. You may not have the life that you desire to have. You may be struggling right now with some things in your life....BUT God is more then able to restore everything that has been surrendered to Him.
If you would just lean and trust that where you are is where you are supposed to be. Every path is leading you to righteousness. Your weakness is essential for His strength, His word to be perfected in you.
You are being restored and reconciled back unto the Father. You are awakening to your true identity in Him. Every thought that is contrary to His truth is being burned in the fire of His consuming love.
Just rest in God and walk according to His word. Let His spirit lead you and guide you no matter what is going on in your life. He is more then able to handle everything that you think is impossible.
You belong to Him. You are a reflection and manifestation of His love. Let go and allow yourself to walk in the fullness of His joy and peace.

Just Be You
"God purposely designed you with His plan in mind. Live boldly as yourself. Don't chase the dream be the vision."
You are purposely designed by God to fulfill His plan. You are lacking nothing. Don't chase the dream others have painted. Live the vision God has ordained for you. Make no excuses for who you are. Live boldly as yourself.
