Let Go and Let God

You know it seems like so many times in my life I ask for answers to trouble I am facing. I recently posted Philippians 4:6,7

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

And though I wanted to follow these words my worry had taken over. Tears constantly staining my cheek, worrying. Asking God for revelation, for peace. Then tonight it happened….He let me know He is still right here, He hasn’t left me. He cares for me and he hears my prayers, my cries, my worries.

As I drove home from my mom’s I prayed the same prayer I’ve prayed so many times over the last week…turned on the radio, hoping maybe I would hear something that may give me some sort of *sign* some sort of comfort. Nothing.
Then I turned it off, prayed some more for revelation and PEACE.
I turned the radio on one last time when I heard my one of my favorite speakers, Tony Evans speaking on our purpose in life. As I listened to the voice coming out of the speaker it was as if he was speaking directly to me. It had nothing to do with what I have been praying about. But a great amount of peace came over me.
It was after I listened to another speaker that I realized God in fact was answering my prayer when the DJ came on and spoke Phil. 4:6,7. And then played this song.

It’s then that I realized, God had to take my mind off of the problem, off of the worry, off of the battle to speak to me. I was so CONSUMED with that worry that I forgot to Let go and Let God.
