Stepping out of my comfort zone and believing, without a doubt, that all things are possible has led me to a life of inner peace.  The power of believing for me includes releasing my worries and giving control to Jesus.

I am fortunate that I am able to believe before I see the results.  For many, believing in something that is not tangible or visible is paralyzing.  The thought of leaving the results up to anything other than one’s self leaves many filled with anxiety. 

Ironically, I never experienced total inner peace until I released control to Jesus.  It is through prayer that I find my path.  My prayers are open-ended not narrowly defined.   

Who am I to know the best way to move forward?  I listen and am careful to address all the opportunities that arise. 

As I evaluate the situation I begin to sense when I am moving down my intended path.  That pit in my stomach tells me to reevaluate the situation.  Whereas the rush throughout my body brings confirmation that I am headed in the right direction. 

All of this can be discouraging if the opportunities and signals are not disclosed quickly.  Many times the wait is painfully long.  It is during those waiting periods that I learn valuable lessons and strengthen my unwavering faith. 

When I start taking control things start becoming stressful and that inner peace disappears.  The loss of peace within my body is my signal that I am off track and have taken back control. 

I step away, pray, and give control back to Jesus.  For me, opportunities are abundant when I release control.  On my own, there is so much that I don’t understand.         

In troubled times I stop, resurrender, pray, listen for direction and look for opportunities.  Continually believing that all things are possible through Jesus.  I might not get what I thought I wanted, but in hindsight, the outcome is beyond what I could have imagined. 

Life brings highs and lows but the power of believing carries us through and delivers things that some would think impossible.  When challenged with a task that seems out of our reach, remember that Jesus will equip us with what we need as we trust and believe.
