Giving my heart to God

  Trusting in God has been one of the most difficult things for me in life. I believe most of our fears and anxiety come from not trusting in him. I felt most of my life, that I needed to have full control over it. As if my choices were wiser than his. I realized I had to relinquish all of this and rely completely on him and his guidance in my life, even if it meant making decisions I didn't want to make. I have fought many times with God about what he wanted for me, I didn't want to listen and I've screamed out "why God?!" every time. I wanted answers, I have tried to make every wrong right and tried to justify every decision I made by bringing God in on my choices after they were already made... by me. The answer he gave me was to trust in him with all my heart. I had always trusted men with my heart, but not God. The maker of my soul and my whole being has deserved my heart before anyone. He knows our heart and he desires for us to trust him with it. Only then do we find true peace.
