“Leave it there!”

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but as for me… I’ve always had loads of questions—so many ‘whys’ and ‘how comes.’ I’ve pretty much been this way my whole life. I want to know the answers. I want to know how to do something, how to get it done, how to accomplish it—and so on. Whatever the situation is, I’ll often drive myself crazy, so to speak, until I reach a place where I think I may have found an answer. Amen.

But I am learning—and I have learned—that sometimes we don’t get all the answers to life’s questions. Amen. I’m learning, as I said, to do my best to let it go, to give it to the Lord, and to trust that He is handling and will handle all of the questions in my life. That He is helping me—and always will. Amen!”

“For we know what to do—we pray, and we seek the Lord’s face, just as we should (1 Chronicles 16:11). Amen. We take all our worries, and we cast our cares at His feet (1 Peter 5:7). We give it all to Him.

But then—what do we do? Maybe it’s just me—but a lot of times, I end up grabbing those worries right back again. I start carrying them with me all over again instead of trusting Jesus to take care of it all and answer my questions. Somehow, in my mind, I think He needs help. Amen. Somehow, I convince myself that I need to do something.

Am I the only one? Because honestly, when I do that, I cause so much stress for myself. I bring unnecessary problems into my life—problems that were never really there to begin with. Amen. What starts as something small grows into something much bigger by the time I’m done with it. Amen!”

“I think sometimes we just can’t help but feel like we still have to do something—other than trust and believe that our Father hears us and will answer our prayers. So, this morning, I just want to say: we can trust Jesus. He never fails us. He loves us more than anyone in this entire world. He is a good, good Father. And He is in control.

I always say: when we know that the Lord is in control, then nothing is ever truly out of control. Amen—not for you, and not for me. Amen.

Because He says, ‘I know you. I know your life from beginning to end’ (Jeremiah 29:11–13; James 4:14; 1 John 3:16). He knows our shortcomings. He knows what we can handle. He knows where we need to be, and when we need to be there. For He alone orders our steps (Psalm 37:23; Proverbs 16:9).

He holds us, keeps us, and protects us—always.

So if we’re casting our cares on the Lord—and if we are truly believing and trusting in Him and in His Word—then let’s really let go. Let’s stop picking those questions back up. Let’s stop rehashing the ‘whys’ and the ‘how comes’ of our lives. Amen.

Let’s continue to pray. Let’s continue to live life—and live it well—as we trust Jesus, our Father, to handle, fix, mend, answer, and take care of it ALL. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
