Anger, I’ve found, is the fastest way to build a wall between me and God.

I built that wall just the other day

It was high and it grew by the hour. I knew what I was doing, but I didn’t care. I let my feelings get the best of me (again) which only added to said ‘growing wall’…

When I finally had my fill. When I couldn’t take it anymore. When the anger consumed me to the point of utter frustration, I finally asked for help.

“Soften my heart, Lord”

I could feel the tension inside me almost immediately begin to melt.

It is often in my surrender that I find a deep connection with God.

When I give up the need to be all, know all and do all…. when I humble myself before Him. That’s when my walls come crashing down. That’s when my prayers begin to connect with Him ♡

He is always near and ready to help. Are we willing to lay everything down before Him and listen?

Laying it down

This song helped me lay it all down.

Our questions are valid, but they are not everything. Maybe God is trying to show you something else? Maybe all He want’s you to do, and I know how hard this is, is to let it go.

What if the freedom and questions you seek are found your surrender to Him?
