"Let Your Will be Done"

I have always been the biggest worry wort in the world...seriously. Anything that happens in my life or in a loved ones life I always think the absolute worst...and I really hate that about myself.

BUT for the last couple of years I have learned when I pray to ALWAYS say, "Lord, let Your will be done." Sometimes its really, really hard to say but I always do, because in the end I know His will is the best.

Tonight my dad got sick...and he is never sick. He woke up about two hours ago and started throwing up and he really doesn't feel good at all. As soon as I found out and saw him I lost my appetite (I was eating ice cream), not because I saw him vomit (because I didn't) but solely from nerves and anxiety. I thought the worst, like we might have to call 911 and something might seriously be wrong. I don't know why I immediately think of the worst result, but I always do.

Anyway, I have prayed to the Lord, "Let Your will be done." in other situations as well. For instance, I will pray to him about the issue, pray for a positive outcome, but end with "But Lord, just let Your will be done no matter what that is."

I have realized that sad and tragic things happen in life, and I have experienced and will experience more of these situations, but I know in my heart that those tragic and heartbreaking situations are going to be God's will because He is always in control, even when we think he is not.

It puts me at peace to know that even though this world is so big and has so many bigger problems than just the problems in my life, I have the security and assurance that He still loves me enough to know the number of hairs on my head and is with me in every situation, good and bad.

Trust in God, even when its hard, because in the end, He will be your absolute comfort.
