Today's Walk With The Lord - Knowing How to Turn It Over To the Lord

Good Morning,

 

I have been growing in my faith over the last few years and have achieved some amazing milestones in my walk with Christ.

 

It is hard to put into words, but I feel more comfortable in life, happier overall (there are still rough days), but overall life is better.

 

I have found that the more I turn over to Christ to handle for me, the better my life has been, but I seem to run into challenges in giving everything over to Him.

 

All my life I have been the one to step up and help, and in the past I have had hard time letting others help me. Due to life situations I have gotten pretty good at letting people help me, and I have gotten better at letting Christ take over, but at times I come up against a wall.

 

Like ‘Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus’ I have learned to stop running in and trying to help when others share their problems (especially my wife, Karen).

 

Yet, there are some aspects of my life where I cannot fathom letting another take care of. I know it will come with time and prayer, but I am not there yet. I do know, though, that the more I give over the Lord, the more I will get back.

 

Please pray for me to help get me over this hurdle.

 

Thank you!

 

Sanford
