God's love overwhelms my overwhelmed heart

During my struggles with worry and fear, the Lord has led me to many verses to comfort my weary soul. Several come from the Psalms such as Psalm 61: "Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer, From the end of the earth I will cry to You when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I..." and Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." ( I have Matthew 6 underlined and double "starred"!) The last 15 years or so has been an exercise in TRULY learning to trust God with all aspects of my life. I am thankful how He has grown me but I have a long way to go! Thank you Lord for your patience with me!
GOD'S LOVE OVERWHELMS MY OVERWHELMED HEART!

Give it up

The Lord is teaching me how to truly give Him my burdens - He has recently revealed to me just how tight I was trying to hold on to them AND control them (I didn't think I was!).  I have asked forgiveness for not TRUSTING Him with my entire life.  God is so kind to show us areas we are holding on to (when we think we are not!), really putting them before God.  I recently heard a preacher preach on surrendering everything at the cross - sins, hopes, dreams, spouse, children, etc.  OUR ENTIRE LIFE!  My heart is truly to serve God in a mighty way!  I am thankful for these hard lessons to refine us and prosper us!  Several lessons God has been teaching me currently are:   He LOVES even me more than I could ever imagine!!! (Eph. 3:14-21)  He wants me to be BOLD (Eph. 6:18-20)  He wants me to surrender my imagined control (Psalm 30).  He wants me to TRUST and WAIT (that's a tough one!) (Psalm 27)  He wants me to SEEK Him in everything (Psalm 34).   And as always, the Lord works in ways we cannot even comprehend!
