Today . . .
I wanna quit!
I want to throw in the towel!
I want to wave the white flag!
I want to throw my hands up,
in complete surrender!
My spirit is crushed,
my hopes are dashed,
my will is gone.
I am clueless!
Therefore,
I give up!
I give it all to You!
Take my disappointment,
take my anger, disillusionment,
confusion and anguish!
I open and pour out my
heart to You in an earnest
cry for help!
I give up!
I don’t know what else to do –
I give it all to You—my failed attempts at success,
my fear of failure,
my bated breath.
All of it—I give to you!
Scripture: Psalms 38:1-22, 55:1-23, 102:1-28, 142:1-7

Aleta–this is not a bad way to begin every day–fully resting in his grace–which is precisely when he is able to use us.

Thanks Mike!
Absolutely!
And what freed me was being able to be honest with God. I think many times, we try to hide how we really feel from God, but He knows! And if we confess it, He promises to deliver us from it all! It’s when we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit that we truly begin to FLY!!
