Do you ever have dreams and wake up thinking they were real? Or do you dream about something and then you worry about that issue? Well that sometimes happens to me. In fact this past week, I have been having dreams about one particular thing that I have totally been at peace about until I started dreaming. Funny how that works, eh? It has started to affect my thoughts during the day and really has made me stress out...totally unnecessary! Well this morning started a new day and I must say, the Lord is conquering for suree today! (sorry that rhymed, really didn't mean to)
I typically have trouble sleeping anyways, so this whole dream thing is definitely not helping. I woke up this morning as usual and checked my e-mail. I signed up for this daily devotional-and todays was on sleep! Of course. Well I didn't even read it until I got to work today...before I even read it-while driving-I was praying and asking the Lord to just take everything from me. All my worries and fears and stresses. My first reaction is always to go to my mom or best friend and seek their advice...then I analyze the situation with person after person. Well instead, in my car, I gave it ALL to Him...while it is such a blessing to have a mom and friends who can give me sound advice, I haven't truly surrendered it all to my Heavenly Father.
I then got to work and read about anxious toil (Psalm 127:2) and Christ keeping us in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Totally what I needed to hear!
What does this have to do with my dreams? Simple. I'm giving those dreams up to Him, and my worries, and my sleep issues. All to Him. This is for sure a daily surrender...but it needs to be done. He knows what lies ahead and right now, but He still wants us to come to Him.
We are SO blessed to have a Father who is gracious enough to love us unconditionally. Love it =D
