Head over heels in love with Jesus Christ †

Spirit Filled ❤

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans8:18

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1John 2:6

“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him…” (Psalm 37:7, NKJV)
Are you struggling with trying to make a dream come to pass? Are you frustrated in a relationship, trying to make someone else change or live right? You may mean well, you may have good goals, but if you are trying to orchestrate things to happen your way, on your timetable, you are only going to frustrate yourself. At some point, you have to turn those circumstances over to God and trust that He has your best interest at heart.
How do you turn things over to God? Start by making the choice and declaring your resolve. Simply say, “Father, I choose to let You be God of this situation. I take my hands off. I trust You.” Then, choose to worship Him. Worship is one of the best ways to set your heart and mind in the right place. You can’t worry and worship at the same time! Worship is a sign that you are trusting God; worry is a sign that you are trying to control things.
Today, take the pressure off yourself and turn things over to God. Give Him control and let Him take your setbacks and turn them into comebacks. Remember, the God who holds the universe holds you in the palm of His hand. Trust Him and let God be God in every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I choose to release every care and concern into Your loving hands. I refuse to worry and choose to trust. Fill me with Your peace. Show me Your ways as I surrender every area of my heart and life to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Do you think music can interfere in your walk with Christ? &Does the Bible say anything about listening to gospel music? But also, how can I change my music that would be the simplest?

Hey! Sorry if it took me a while to answer back, I just returned from vacation this morning. Yes I do believe worldly music can interfere with our walk with Christ. I have not read anything saying specifically to listen to gospel, but here are some scriptures that apply to this situation: Romans 12:2, Phil 4:8, 2 Cor 6:14-17, Romans 10:17, Ecclesiastes 7:5-6, Mark 7:20-22 2 Cor. 4:4. Basically what we fill ourselves with is what we will be full of, and what we are full of is what we will desire and will eventually comes out of us. If we fill ourselves with the Word and things to do of the Spirit then our faith will grow( faith comes by hearing) but if we fill ourselves with things of the world then those things will grow in us. A few months after I gave my life to Christ, God had led me to get rid of all of my secular music. It was hard at first, but I lost desire for the things of this world so it no longer bothers me. Now when I hear old music I laugh at the fact I used to listen to it.. lol. For me a lot of the music I listened to was pretty bad and I didn’t realize at first, but I had actually idolized some of the artists. So this is definitely something you should talk to God about. If you would like to know some of the music I currently listen to I would be glad to share! Hope this helps a bit :D

Everyone goes through seasons of difficulty or times when things just seem dark. During these challenging times, know that you are not alone. God has a plan to drive out the darkness — He will flood you with His light!
