It has been one of those days. One of those months. One of those years. One of those times in life in which you feel overwhelmed and unsure how you are going to take the next breath let alone the next step. Your faith is battered and it feels to be completely broken. You can't see past this very moment, not even thinking of tomorrow or next month. Brokenness, heartbreak, loneliness, grief... that is all you can see. Everything appears bleak and hopeless. Thoughts of a future full of joy, ministry and prosperity were dashed against the rocks when the storm of life hit you. You go through the motions of life but inside you want someone to notice that you are drowning and save you. The weariness of fighting the storm is too much for you and you wonder where God is and why He hasn't pulled you out of the storm. I know what you are going through and it isn't easy but let me assure you that God is right there with you. He is waiting for you to welcome Him into your situation. He is desiring you to surrender not just the current situation but your future into his very capable hands. God is longing for you to allow Him to be your light and salvation. Many times we get in these storms of life and we want rescued but we are unwilling to let go of the sinking boat. The very things that are keeping us in the storm sometimes are the things that we can't seem to surrender. The bad influences that we choose to surround ourselves with and whom we are unwilling to let go of, could be the very reason that we are still in the storm. The unwillingness to surrender our time to prayer and reading the Word, could be the reason that life continues to be a struggle. The key to getting out of the storm starts with surrender. Surrender to His Word. Surrender to His Plan. Surrender to His calling. Surrender to His Will. Full surrender on our part will bring the full power of the hand of God to our rescue.
"When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek." Psalm 27:7
