Perfecting Me

I am seeking not only to know You more, Lord, but to apply your Word in my life.  My desire, now, is to realize that whatever situation I’m in, whatever circumstance I face, and whatever condition I have, are your will for me.  

So often, I want to have my will, which in essence means, I want to control the situation, circumstance and condition.  I must come to the total realization that when I gave my life to You, Lord, that You took control of these.  

I was consistently decreasing so that You can increase in my life.  This means that I must let go of any dingle of my will in my life.  

Help me, Lord, to reach mastery in this area.  I have realized that frustration and discontentment arise from having my own will.  This is sin.  It is sin because not having faith in You or not counting on You to come through for me is sin.  

Your Word says that You know my deepest intricacies.  Therefore, because Your will shall be exercised in my life, I must have confidence that You will perfect me as long as I abide in Your Word.  

O Lord, let me rest and trust in You.​
