Worshiping with abandon

Lately I've been thinking about how everything feels so uncertain. But how life is not about MY circumstance, whether it be good or bad in the given moment but how God is MIGHTY in the midst of all of it.

I feel so stressed out.

I have this "mock" interview tomorrow and I've been getting myself all worked up about it. I've been trying to study the questions and practice my answers as if it's a real interview. I just want to do my best ya know? and I want to make the best impression possible because these people are REAL principles and things...
but really it's in God's hands. He has brought me to this place and He will lead me through the rest. I can hear His still small voice saying "you've practiced enough, just spend some time with me now..."
so that's what I'm doing. I haven't gotten still God time in forever.

I feel so selfish because I know I NEED God on my side for this interview and just this whole teaching thing....but God is so much MORE than all of it. The world is so much bigger and there are so many things and situations I should be putting my time and effort into praying about but here I am worrying about my own selfish situations.

It's hard to feel that God approves of me right now when I don't even make time for Him and when I'm so self-focused. I hate it. I can be so self-centered to my core and I wish I could just be free of those ...chains.

I want to please God more than anything but I feel like I've been constantly doing things that let Him down by my actions and thoughts.

I want to PRAISE God for who He is and worship Him with abandon, NOT because of my circumstance but because of who HE is. I want to pour every piece of my heart to Him simply because He deserves it.

Watch this video it's SO inspiring.

  1. Hey friend, your heart pleases God! He knows your not perfect, but he says in his word when you seek me you will find me when you seek me with all your heart!

  2. We can't let God down! And I love the scripture that says, His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
    11 the LORD delights in those who fear him,
    who put their hope in his unfailing love.
    Psalm 147:10,11

    He is pleased when we trust Him!

    I hope you'll join me tomorrow night/Thursday and link up one of your posts to share with others! :)
