God understands. In our minds we think that knowledge and certainty are the answer. We live in a wold full of reasons and reasonings for why things happen the way they do. What happens when we come across something for which there is no explanation? What about the times when all the standard explanations leave holes of mysteries still yet unsolved? One of the elements of a relationship with a power greater than oneself is surrender. I do not have all the answers. I cannot comprehend all the possible reasons why someone acts a certain why (and sometimes neither do they) or why something happens. Then I reach for the hand of God and say, What do you want me to do with this? I cannot figure it out. I am lost. Show me the way. My mind will rebuff because it thinks if I just try harder or longer I will eventually be able to figure it out. What if it is not my job to figure it out? What if the purpose is to let go and let God figure it out? My ego is called to surrender and I can either fight it or capitulate. My greatest times of peace are when I remember that as long as I can rely on a power greater than myself that cares about me, I can surrender, be confused, and know I will be okay.
Be Of Confusion!
on August 20, 2016My prayer for us is the willingness to try out our ability to surrender to God by allowing ourselves to be in the confusion of something small in our lives today.
If we believe that God understands all that is needed in any given situation, how can you allow yourself to rest in the confusion of what you haven’t figured out about your life today? Share in the comments.
