to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
accepting one moment at a time,
taking as Jesus did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to your will
"We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them."
Romans 8-28, NLT

Letting go and letting God has gotten easier through the course of time because I have seen God working in my life...and in the lives of people around me. I know because I know because I know that God is watching and caring for me...even when it doesn't feel or look like it. Sometimes when my heart longs for something, God says, "no" or "not yet" to a request, but He never ignores me.

"I KNOW that God causes everything to work together...."

Grow me up, Lord.

I only know what I think I know. God sees and knows everything. Today, I am trusting in His perfect plan.

That is great. I have to trust him more. This separation is still so new to me and my emotions feel so raw so often. Can you help me understand the phrase "I only know what I think I know". That would help me. I may say over and over today 'I know b/c I know b/c know that God will take care of me'. I was just rejoicing a few days ago about him providing clothes for me and I need not worry what we'll eat, drink, wear, Luke 12:29-31. It makes me sick how quickly I can let worries creep in again. It will work out, I have no choice but to Trust God and that's the best choice of all. I'm going to stay in today and enjoy every minute and stay in every minute despite counseling tonight. God will be there. Thanks.
Hi Pam,
This line in the Serenity Prayer brings me back to Romans 8:28, one of my most favorite scriptures. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
