Prayers Out Loud by Krishangi Summers

There are rules in life and then there are laws. The laws are what can’t be broken or changed, we can abide by our own rules though. Or so we think? 

I always felt the need to control my life, have every corner and crevasses clean and cut, each dot on the I and cross on the T had its purpose. I needed to know when, what, where, and why. Nothing short of. However, I have been humbled. God continues to show me who is in charge, so simply the what where and why isn’t ours to worry about. I needed to learn this through countless talks, prayers and cries out to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I would sit and wonder why my job wasn’t going as I planned, why it was taking so long for me to receive the blessings I saw surrounding me that others had clearly obtained. The key words were I AND ME. Why would I think that I had that much power to guide my own life? Maybe because I was afraid of failure or afraid to account myself that my choices led me to this conclusion, but GOD IS SO GOOD. God knew I was a fool, so he pitied me. He knew I was a hopeless kid wanting, yearning and eager to know him so much that I would drop everything I had in my hand just to hand it over to his. He just needed to teach me how. 

In my life I have been abused, disappointed by my parents, disappointed in myself but the foundation of GOD always reminded me … who was in charge, it wasn’t me…. It was my loving most compassionate GOD. Before I leave you with this testimony, let me tell you how often God speaks to us… as I am learning to not be so controlling of my own life, LET GO AND LET GOD, I am seeing more signs of why GOD is working in my life and helping me with this …  

My husband and I were driving to pick our daughter up from school, while on the highway we were on 2 miles of gas…. I started to freak out (this is the controller in me wanting to have everything together) my husband is relaxed and he tells me.. we will make it to the exit and get gas… but sweat is dripping down the sides of my temples , how much worried I was… as we are almost to the exit there is a huge traffic jam waiting to happen … cars are slowing down and my heart starts racing fast, however … my husbands faith in God kept us going, the exit split and the route we were taking was cleared, no traffic, no worries… as we are on 1 mile of gas… we get to the exit that we needed to get on… and there was a gas station right off the exit …. 

GOD WORKS IN OUR LIFE IN WAYS THAT ARE UNEXPECTED BUT ALWAYS FOR OUR OWN GOOD. Trust and believe ✝️
