Lately, I have found myself worrying about where the rest of my money for the trip is going to come from; a couple of nights ago I was even in tears. I believe this is what God has in store for me, yet I am becoming a professional worry-er. That is, until Sunday. In both church and youth group we sang about the peace God brings when we give ourselves and our plans to Him. It really struck me how much I had been worrying and making myself miserable. Even though all my life I have seen how God provides for my family, I hadn't really accepted it as something He would do for me. The song "Take My Life" (originally by Francis Havergal, but sung by Chris Tomlin) has now become my prayer, especially these few lines:
Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my silver and my gold
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as You choose.
Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
