Trusting not trying

 Have you ever wondered why trying so hard to produce the right things in your life ends up at a dead end? As hard as you try to say and do the right thing sometimes it just falls short. Or maybe trying to start a new habit, especially with the new year here, new resolutions, a chance at a fresh start . Here’s my story of surrendering to trusting and breaking up with trying . The more self focused I am has always led to feelings of inadequacy, defeat, depression, disappointment, frustration, even despair. Ah, but when I trust, putting my focus on the One, the Creator who has woven me together in my mothers womb , who knows when I sit and when I rise, who perceives  my thoughts from afar, who has numbered the hairs on my head. Who cares about the state of my mind, heart and soul. Whose desire it is for healing and wholeness. Trusting Him to do his work in me. Abiding, trusting the One who holds the world holds my heart and cares about my growth. So I let go.. knowing in Him I am the righteousness of God in Christ and He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it. So I vow to trust in the One who is leading me, guiding me into all truth. The truth of who he has created me to be.
