Oh For Grace to Trust Him More

Hey guys,
I'm going to try to finish this before the internet shuts off. Haha. I hope you guys are doing well. I just thought I'd leave you a short encouragement that a friend gave me tonight. Ready? Got your thinking caps on? Okay.

"Sometimes God brings us to rock bottom just so He can show us that HE IS the Rock at the bottom."

Let that sink in. I know that in my own life, I have had the distinct impression that God was pushing me to see that He is my only lasting satisfaction and joy. I'm still learning that. So when you guys think of it, would you pray for me, that I would find my contentment in Him? I don't want my circumstances to dictate my mood. I don't want to try and find lasting happiness in people or things. I will just be miserable. But yet I still try. As Paul said, "I cannot do as I ought." Stupid flesh. Oh well. God is the God of the impossible. I guess I just need to learn to trust Him more.


’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
And to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus says the Lord!”

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

May this be our prayer every day! <3 Good night everyone. Sleep well. Dwell on the promises of God!!
