Give God all the bad stuff. He wants it.

What is the worst thing going on in your life right now? It may be something huge and overwhelming happening to your family, or it may be attitudes that you want to get rid of personally. Be honest and think about the worst thing going on. Now, think about what it would be like with that gone. How would that change your life?

Now, give it to Jesus. What’s wonderful about having Emmanuel with us, is that He is right here to walk with us and carry the load. That’s not a request on His part, it’s a command. Give it all to Him. Hand it over and ask Him to deal with it. Don’t tell Him how to do it, just give it to Him. He’ll fix it exactly the way He wants to, and it will be in your favor.

Now, stop worrying. After you give it to Jesus, trust Him. He is God who loves you and knows how to take care of you. He promises that. Once you put it in His hands, do what you know to do, but let Him worry about it. (He actually doesn’t.) It may take time, or it may change immediately. Give the timing to Him.

The worst thing in your life is about to go away. Start thanking Him and praising Him now for His goodness to you. It’s only going to get better.
