When it comes to trusting the Lord, a lot of the times we don't. We trust Him with some but not with all. I would venture to guess that most, if not all, people have not fully surrendered
all of their life to Him. That's okay! I'm not writing this to say, "You must surrender!!" But I am saying, look at the parts in your life that are not surrendered. For me, there was a part of my past that I did not want to confess. I did not want to deal with it. Obviously, this part of my life was not surrendered to the Lord. And you know what, I am completely okay that I held onto that part of my life because honestly, it is God's timing that is perfect. If I would have tried to deal with it on my own I would have only botched it up...but in His hands, all pruning is done perfectly. Back to the point though...For years I held on because there was a lie I believed, which hindered me from trusting and thus surrendering this aspect of my life to the Lord. Here is where it begins to get good! What lie did I believe that would keep me in such bondage? The lie that if I didn't deal with it, if I kept pushing it away from my mind and it would go away or at least stay in it's nice little box that I had given as its residence. Yeah, it was horrible every time it came to my mind, but the thought of telling other people was even worse. Why? Because here come the other lies: I am shameful, people will look at me differently, they won't love me anymore, they won't think I love the Lord...who tells me these lies? Satan. Who believes these lies: me. I allowed myself to believe the lies he spoke to me.
What lies are you beliving in regards to the areas where you don't trust the Lord?

Let's take one's career for example. Wow...now here is an area of life where we like to be in control of, am I right? Where we end up in life, how much money we make, etc. What about our bosses opinions, our co-workers opinions, how people view our importance or maybe lack of importance, what people think of our work quality, etc. etc. etc....

All I want people to do is examine their life. Be real. Don't beat yourself up if you have not surrendered every aspect of your life. When you do examine your life with an open heart and open mind, and you see the areas that are unsurrendered, write those down. Ask yourself what hinders you from letting go? There is something you are believing which is not allowing you to surrender. This belief that you are holding onto is a lie. What lie are you believing? When you find that out, you will find the way to trust in Christ because you can now make a conscious choice to either continue living in a lie or turn and
live in the TRUTH.
