My God, in whom I trust

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 

(Ps. 91:1-2)

Okay, I really need to study right now but I just wanted to say something because God has been making a huge difference in my life lately.  A couple weeks ago I wrote about choosing to trust God instead of trying to control everything and worry about every little symptom and possiblity.  I was consumed by worry and I just couldn't take it anymore.  I've prayed many times in my life for a greater trust in God, but this time something clicked.  I don't know what was different, but I have seen a dramatic change.  I do not worry anymore.

I still notice the things that worried me in the past (nothing huge or fascinating but if you want to know I'd be happy to oblige!) but they don't bother me.  I really do trust God, and it is the power of the Holy Spirit that allows me to do so.  Today I had a doctor's appointment as a follow-up to one last week, and for both of them I was completely calm.  Not stressed, not worried, only curious as I wait for results.

I can't even believe how amazing it is to just let God handle the things that are out of my control anyway.  His joy fills me and I am glad.

Isaiah 26:3 says God will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in Him.  I'm experiencing this right now, and it's incredible.  Lord, please help me be steadfast to you.

I'm sure there will come a point where I need to yet again strongly resist the pull of the devil trying to get me back into worrying.  But for now, he's gone.  And no matter what happens, I am safe, resting in the shelter of the Most High.

His peace covers me.
