So much going on in my mind and in my heart.  Sometimes in the night when I can’t sleep I wonder: is it me or is it God keeping me awake.

Focus! I have to focus NOT on the circumstances that right now seem overwhelming but I MUST FOCUS ON GOD!

I must remember that God’s plan and purpose for me is greater than I could ever imagine –

even when I don’t feel like things are great

even when I can’t see His plan

even when I don’t understand His plan

I must remember God sees the beginning from the end and I cannot.

I must remember God hears my every sigh and He cares about the details of my life.

I must remember when I am weak He is strong.

I must remember these trials and tests are God’s way of making me stronger.

I must remember God is in control and I can trust Him with all things at all times, especially when I don’t understand.

I must remember God always loves me. His love never changes.

I must remember even when I fail, God never fails and He never stops loving me.

What does it all mean?

God’s got this!  I can trust him with whatever is on my mind and my heart.  I am going to sleep now.

Psalm 119:147 – 148    NLT

I rise early before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in Your words.  I stay awake through the night, thinking about Your promise.  In your faithful love, O LORD, hear my cry; in Your justice, save my life.

Psalm 138:2b, 7a, 8     NLT

I will give thanks to Your name; You encourage me by giving me the strength I need. Though I am surrounded by troubles You will preserve me against the anger of my enemies. The LORD will work out His plans for my life- for Your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever.  Don’t abandon me, for You made me.

Psalm 120:1       NLT

I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to Him and He answered my prayer.
