Journey Day 63

Today I went to a church called "One Community", which is downtown. To say that it was amazing would be an understatement, there was no way to describe how evident it was that God was in that place! The worship was moving, the preaching was convicting, and the people were friendly! At the end, the pastor did an altar call, basically just saying that if you had something you had to give to God, to bring it to the altar and leave it there. I knew that I had to go, and I sat there on my knees praying, and listening to a room full of worship, and I felt at peace. I knew that I didn't have to worry, it was all going to be fine. It isn't easy to keep it there, in the hands of Jesus where it belongs. I keep wanting to worry, I keep wanting to take it back and make it mine, but I have no control over what happens, I just have to trust that God knows best. If I stress it only hurts me, it doesn't help me. It's so easy to give my burdens to God, the hard part is letting him keep them! But why would I want them to begin with? They only make life more difficult. So here's to leaving my worries and burdens at the foot of the cross, where they belong! Easier said than done, I know, but it's mind over matter, and Jesus will take care of the rest! : )
