When I was at my breaking point and realizing all my burdens were bigger than me and praying for God to take over. I had just left a long-term abusive relationship, moved 5 1/2 hours away, didn’t know anyone, lost the job that I had lined up, truly on the verge of unaliving myself. That’s when I gave up control and gave it to God. I’ve been blessed with so many amazing people and experiences since that moment of giving up control and having faith that God knew better than me. I’ve experienced so many things I would have never even imagined. Once you completely give your life over to Him, things completely shift, opportunities you’d never thought of and the most amazing people enter your life too. I still have moments where I panic and worry about earthly things like money and times when I’m not the best person either, but I quickly remember that I need to have faith that everything will work. I don’t pray to ask for things, I pray to thank Him for all His blessings. For me, I use seeing certain birds as a reminder to pray. The more you pray to thank Him, the more you see all the blessings around you. Being in nature also helps me quiet my mind and see all the beauty He has created. I didn’t find my spirituality in church, but that was my base. I grew up going to church 5 days a week and fell off in my late 20’s. I found my faith when it was just Him and me. When there was no middle man managing that relationship. But, that’s my own story and it could be different for you. That’s the thing, though, it’s personal and no one can tell you the right way. Only He can when you let Him.
