It’s time for healing time to move on
It’s time to fix what’s been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It’s time to find my way to where I belong
There’s a wave that’s crashing over me
All I can do is surrender
Whatever you’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there’s peace
It’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see
but I’m giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I’ve wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears

How many times do I have to remind myself to just breathe. The world can be a really hard place and sometimes things are thrown at us when we are not ready. How would I react if I actually expected it? What if you knew that a person was about to shove you while you were standing in line? If you didn’t see it coming, you would stumble. If you saw it coming and were prepared, you would stand firm where you were, feet planted.
God tells us that we will have trouble and hardships and chaos in our lives. And He has given us a way to prepare ourselves—His Word. The Bible gives us direction and guidance in every situation. We can read how David lived and defeated a giant with a stone and slingshot. We can see how Jonah ran from God and yet God sought him and went to all the trouble to have him swallowed by a fish. He really needed Jonah to spread the Good News to a specific city. And then there’s Gideon who doubted that he could do anything, even with God proving over and over to him that he was really equipped to defeat his enemies. And the list goes on and on…. Each one of these men went on to do great things. Because they didn’t let it defeat them.
The chaos going on in your life is also creating something beautiful and heavenly. God wastes nothing…no hardship, no affliction. He makes something good out of the hard things that we just knew would be the end of us. It is time for healing, dear friend. And the only way that can happen is to totally surrender to Him and His will for you…whatever that may be. Are you ready?
I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Seek the Lord while He can be found: call upon Him while He is near.
Isaiah 55:6
And God is able to bless you abundantly,
so that in all things at all times, having all you need,
you will abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8
When times are good, be joyful; when times are bad, consider this:
God made the one as well as the other,
so people won’t seek anything outside of His best.
Ecclesiastes 7:14 ISV

Let us pray:
Dear Lord, You are mighty and awesome. Your name is to be exalted above all! Your love knows no end and we are so blessed to be Your children. Oh, Lord, it is time to surrender, clean house, and let You take control of our lives. What may seem like chaos may just be the beginning of a change that was so needed and You are to be praised for it all. Lord God, thank You for Your precious Word! A Light in this dark world and a Guide to make it through it all. May we turn to You and be patient and just breathe. Knowing that all will be well…because in Him, all IS well! In Jesus’ name, amen.
