Restlessness ~

It's early in the morning. Quietness falls throughout the walls of home. Snow is gently falling .; my heart is anxious and I cannot sleep. Ever had nights like this? Quiet my thoughts Father God, Quiet my heart , Quiet my soul. Once again I ask for confirmation that you have everything in control..... Here is what I need to have in order to proceed with my day .....

 1. Faith – Do I believe it, taking hold of it, and acting on it? Do I have enough faith that God is listening and answering me. 

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Heb. 11:6)

2. Healing- In order to have a new mindset,  I  need to be healed from my past. Do I  still struggle with that Unforgiveness, bitterness, ill feelings towards someone,  or envy? I have to pray on it, ask God to heal my heart and let go and bless them with my prayers. Ever heard of that saying, “you can’t pray for someone you hate.” Think about it.

3. Fear- Whoa! A big word that can be a stronghold to ME. What does FEAR mean ?
It actually means: False Evidence Appearing Real. 
Have I allowed fear to take a hold of ME? Am I  not trusting God enough (look at #1)? Difficult to cast my  cares on the Lord? Fear can strap me down and won’t allow me to go where God wants me to go. It won’t allow peace, joy, or comfort. If I have enough faith, fear will have no place.
Jesus said, My yoke is easy and burden is light (Matt 11:30)

4. Self-Doubt- Do I  believe in myself?  Am I confident? Is fear strapping me down? Don’t I  have enough faith?
It’s okay to be out of my comfort zone. It’s okay to reach for more. Allow God to use me and He will do the unimaginable. Applying this  verse to my heart. One of my most favorites in the Bible, clinging to it today......
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us (Ephesian. 3:20)

Please Father God ,don’t let doubts, fear, and anxiety hold me down! Renew my mind, let me meditate on the things of God, His Word, His love, His mercy and grace. When I have these things down I will be able to pour into the lives of my family, friends, and reach people for Christ, only then I  will experiment the fullness of Christ, unspeakable joy, overflowing love, and a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Renewing my mind ,  Praying  often. Seeking  God and being hungry for Him.

Prayers invested is never time wasted. So, it's early ~ spending time with my Heavenly Father ....calming the restlessness ......Peace , Peace wonderful Peace flowing down from the Father above sweep over my spirit forever I pray in fathomless billows of LOVE ......
