Leaving it at the Throne

I pray and I pray and I think that God is just super amazing. HE has to be, to be patient with me and my misguided ways. I give something to HIM, but then I take it back again. I can't seem to just leave my prayers at the throne. I want to have control, I want to fix things and be the one that makes them better. I know that sounds ludicrous, but that it is what I'm telling God every time I pick something back up that I left at HIS feet.

My goal this November is to be like the trees. The trees are shedding their leaves to prepare for a time of rest. I need to do that as well. I need to shed my fears, questions, worries, desires and give to God and not pick them back up. Just as I can't put leaves back on a tree, I shouldn't try to pick up my cares again. Autumn is a time of great beauty and a time for industry as we prepare for Winter and time of rest and the quiet of winter.

So my goals for November are as follows:
1. To make up my mind and stick with it
2. To gives my cares to God and leave them with HIM

In Christ,
