Psalm 46 vs 10; “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” ENCOURAGEM­ENT is very important in any person’s life, we all want to be inspired or at least encouraged.

Hope, the belief that tomorrow will be better, is probably the one thing that keeps us going and drives us to push ahead.

It’s everyone’s wish to find the fountain of youth and happiness.

If we could see into the future we would all want to be assured that we will do well and live happily ever after.

Sometimes we fail to hold on to the promises we have been given that will make us live a stress-free life, as a result of our desire to control our circumstan­ces .

When we feel that we have lost control and that our own efforts are not steering us in the direction we want, we panic, become unhappy and degenerate into misery.

The minute we feel as if our dreams are escaping us, we lose hope and faith. The unspoken truth is that we control very little of our destiny and our circumstan­ces, yes we have wishes and desires, but it is not entirely up to us.

The path to happiness starts with letting go and just allowing God to be God in our lives.

Are you stressed and weary, or have you lost hope? Take it to the Lord in prayer.

He will surely lead you to His green pastures, patiently wait on Him.

Let go and allow Him to take complete charge of your life.

He will do exceedingl­y and abundantly above all that you ever imagined, just hive Him the chance. Let go today.

Be blessed.
