Give Your Life Away to Be Still and Abide in God

April 24, 2019May 17, 2019 Tiffany Montgomery 1 Comment

Surrender is a nice Christian Ideal but it is so hard to live every day. It’s one thing to say Lord I surrender my life to You but it’s another thing to live with open hands. To Give Your Life Away to Be Still and Abide in God requires surrender and living with open hands […]

How do you pray for hard things like we are facing

How do you pray for hard things like we are facing in our nation today?

I believe prayer will go far to change hearts and minds and open eyes and ears in our World today... but it can be hard to know how to pray.
When I am stuck and need help getting started I reach for a prayer guide... This is one that applies so well.

What do you say when you have no words?

When the hate you see is too big... when you worry there is no solution... when nothing that's been tried has changed hearts long term... What is the answer?
Can this hate be changed?

Marches and protests and riots and wars have come before and no lasting change seemed to come... When there are no words that feel right all I can do is cry out to The Lord.
Lord, move in our hearts and lives to work change... real change. We need YOU. YOU are the only one who can bring healing and hope.
Amen

Who else is praying for our Nation?

Change is hard.
It sweeps in like a tsunami taking out entire parts of my life when it crashes down.
In the aftermath, I am confused and raw, unsure of how to rebuild. What happens when the thing or person you depend on for security changes?
Does life fall into chaos?
Do you retreat inside yourself to feel safe again?
I do.
Change is hard.
When change is hard I struggle to be still and trust God.
What would happen if we learned to trust God when change comes?

Who else wishes God would swoop in and change your

Who else wishes God would swoop in and change your situation?

I can relate... Finances are always tight
Marriage brings new challenges all the time
Parenting is a wild ride
Relationships get messy

I pray for change - all the time.

But sometimes God does not change my situation.
Why doesn't God always change things?

God cares about our character more than our comfort... God longs to change our hearts and sometimes hard situations are just the thing that we need to change.
So if - like me- you are longing for something to change take heart. Trust God's heart and let HIM change yours while you wait!

Have you been fighting the battle of Overcoming Pornography?
It’s a battle that feels uphill and dotted with land mines all with the purpose of sucking you back into the pit.
Thankfully in this modern technological world that tempts us to sin we also find tools and resources to help with overcoming pornography.

Do you thing of God as a friend? I used to think

Do you thing of God as a friend?
I used to think of this verse about God standing to knock at the door as all focused on salvation... but I think it goes beyond that.
My kids have made friends with the littles grils in the neighborhood and several times a day the come to knock at the door.
Now, if my girls are off playing somewhere else and the same kid has knocked - several times - I will just walk in the other room and ignore the door :( Surely I'm not the only mom?!?!? But if the girls are home and their friend knocks they race each other to get to open the door and gigle with the friend. ****** When was the last time God was knocking at your door?
Did you prentend not to hear or run to the door giggling?
Many days I hear Him... it's 6:05 AM and the alarm is beeping... "Tiffany, come spend time with ME. Abide in ME today." There's a lull in the chaos of dirty floors and dirty clothes and dirty dishes... "Tiffany, spend some time in prayer with ME. Abide with ME today." I remember a time I ran to the door to meet HIM with joy... what happened to those days?

Today I feel that soul deep conviction to run to HIM the next time HE knocks and smile and gigle with HIM like I did when we first met.
Who's with me?

What are you focused on today? "Your feelings will

What are you focused on today? "Your feelings will follow what you focus on.
That’s why it’s so important to focus on the goodness of God through His Word.
When you focus on your faults, you’ll end up feeling condemned.
Make sure you don’t fall into the performance trap. If you perform well, then it can lead to pride. On the other hand, if you don’t perform well, the fruit is condemnation.
Either way the fruit of having a performance-based relationship is a lose-lose situation. If we try to come to God based on our performance, guess what? It will never be good enough.
None of us could ever be that good; only Jesus was able to do that. That’s why we have to focus on God’s love for us." Excerpts taken from Awakening: A New Approach to Faith, Fasting, and Spiritual Freedom by Stovall Weems (p. 30)

Who else can relate?
This is parenting in a nutshell!!!!!

How is your prayer life?
Prayer is both incredibly simple and terribly overwhelming.

Simple becuase we can talk to God anytime anywhere.
Overwhelming because we wonder if He hears and why He doesn't seem to answer.
Can I encourage you today?
Keep praying. God hears every word - every single word! He answers in HIS own way and time but He does anwer - Every Single Prayer!

Keep praying. In time you will see where He has been working. Don't give up!
I needed this reminder from @jaymehull8 today! Thanks @JaymeHullFacetoFaceMentoring/

Are you in the middle of a trial?
Does it ever feel like this one thing is just too much for God?
Or maybe God is busy elsewhere and He just can’t get to your problem?
Trusting an unseen God in the face of the very visible storms of Life is something we all struggle with at times.
Today we will see that there is no problem too big for God and no care too small for Him to care for.
You can be still and trust God in the storm of life.

Do you turn to worship when life is hard? It's no

Do you turn to worship when life is hard?
It's no secret that our family have been in a hard season and it just keeps going on and on and on... When life is hard we have a choice. Sulk down in self pitty or rise up in worship.
I'd love to say I always worship, but some days I sulk.
Today I saw this from @coffeewithstarla and was reminded to Worship anyway.

When the storms come and stay a spell, I will crank out the worship that lives deep in my soul.
For me it comes out as hymns... what about you?

God is so good and His love is better than anythin

God is so good and His love is better than anything else I could desire.
Thanks for the reminder @lullaby.lark @LullabyLark/

There are days I need to be reminded of some truth

There are days I need to be reminded of some truths, how about you?

God is with you.
God loves you.
You can cry out to God.
God will never leave you or stop lovin you.
God will protect you.
God is stronger than anything you face... God is bigger than the battle you are facing and you are not facing it alone!

Do you struggle with prayer? I did for years. If

Do you struggle with prayer?
I did for years.
If you’ve been walking with Jesus for two seconds you know that the Bible says we should pray – pray without ceasing, pray about everything.
Knowing the Bible says to pray and actually feeling like you pray well – or that God answers your prayers -is very different.
This changed for me when I learned how to create a powerful prayer strategy – it changed everything!

Who else needs to be reminded that we are not fighting this battle alone?

Loved this reminder from @scripturalgrace @Scripturalgraceapparel/ ! "The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still" Exodus 14:14

There is a battle going on in the life of many Christians today to overcome pornography use or addiction.
Just like we need powerful weapons to win battlefield wars we need practical resources to overcome pornography!

This is a battle I've fought and won personally and today starts a series to share that part of my testimony.
