Miss Independent????

This has truly been a trying week, but thank God he saw me through! While this week had difficulties and challenges it taught me a valuable lesson. I realized this week that I had forgotten how to depend of God for his daily touch. I had forgotten what it was like to feel his real presence working as he wakes me up and starts me on my day. In the hustle of our daily activities it is easy to become focused primarily on the daily tasks we must complete. We begin our days with the worry often never once looking to God to ease our anxiety and steady our emotions required to accomplish tasks. In my efforts to become independent and handle things through my own strength, I had forgotten how to cast my cares on the Lord as he promises to sustain my every need. " Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall~ Psalm 55:22  I will never be truly independent, as I will always need his help and guidance. Even in moments of great joy and excitement I must remember that all gifts are from God and are products of his invisible hands. In the coming months I expect to spread my wings and leave the present nest. While it will appear that I am asserting more independence, truthfully this will be a time of great dependence as I will need God's daily touch more than ever to tackle unfamiliar territory.
