During my walk with God I have tried to reason out and solve my own problems. This one has allowed me to depend solely on God.<br /><br />I believe God is directing my focus to look to Him and less to the world and its offerings. <br /><br />If I never had a problem I wouldn't know that God could solve them. I will stand still and see the salavtion of the Lord. <br /><br />Just found this site. Its very interesting and informative.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-48659234610871005642012-12-05T17:15:28.095-05:002012-12-05T17:15:28.095-05:00This helps immensely, thanks so much!

Or even required considering the little time we have left! <br /><br />My heart has changed, my mind has changed, I examine myself and see good fruit (which is a sign showing that I am saved, not human effort doing good works) I have become extremely sensitive to sin.<br /><br />And, though I have moments of tremendous testing, falling out of belief almost entirely, simply not understanding what God wants, etc. <br /><br />The main thing I have learned is that Jesus wants me to lean on Him, it's not my strength or understanding or wisdom, or effort, or goodness, but instead (thankfully!) it is His.<br /><br />the very next verse after the one you referenced in matthew =)<br /><br />Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.<br /><br />both versions of the next seem valid<br /><br />NIV Psalm 68:19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Selah<br /><br />KJV Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.<br /><br />Remember dear brethren that the righteous will live by faith.<br /><br />2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.<br /><br />Also, trials are blessings, in the pain they may give, they also give great gain in faith.<br /><br />thanks elizabeth for another great post, exactly what I needed to hear.<br /><br />-I suppose I could at least start including my name <br /><br />DrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-81775647116668916332012-12-05T11:32:42.728-05:002012-12-05T11:32:42.728-05:00Thank you, thank you, thank you!
