Acceptance

I made a point this morning to open my book Prayers & Promises for Women. I hadn’t been diligent enough to read it, but I thought no better time than the present. I’ve been struggling with accepting a specific situation lately that is beyond my control. I am watching circumstances unfold that could lead to a train wreck, but I am in no position to interfere or try to help. I know in reality, if I were to get involved, it would probably backfire on me in more ways than one. I have found myself making up scenarios in my mind of what may or may not happen, and that is dangerous. I have my reservations about one of the parties involved, and I question their motives. I honestly do not really know this person, but in the short time that I have, I do not trust them. I have been questioning and scrutinizing their decisions in my head, but I have never confronted them. It has been consuming me, and that is not good for me either.

Upon reading this passage, I felt convicted that instead of judging this person and holding onto my frustration with them, I need to lift them up to God in prayer because it is not my weight to carry. Instead, I will release this situation and the people involved to God. He has control over this, and in the end, I know everything will work out according to His will.
