Give God the right to direct your life I'm sure many of us still struggle with making that decision. Nothing you confess will make God love you any less. God sees all the ugly pieces of your life and still chooses you. Your life is a testimony and message to the world. Empty yourself and let God fill you. David didn't need to know Goliath's strength because he already knew GOD'S. God takes us just as we are and makes us more than we ever imagined. If your life is an uphill slope , set your sails to catch GOD'S power. . .  " Isaiah 41:10 " says  fear not for I am with you. Until God opens the next door praise him in the hallway. Life was throwing curve balls at me left and right. But God gave me a bat and showed me how to swing. Every battle is won before it is ever fought. We have victory in Jesus.  " 2 Chronicles 20:15 "says the battle is not ours but GOD'S. The situation you are in is not yours to fight... The battle is GOD'S and it has already been won in heaven. Your part is to recognize who to give credit to and do exactly that. Fight all your battles on your knees and you will win every time. The battles that seem impossible to win are winnable with God. Faith in God includes faith in his timing. Sometimes God will put you into a battle empty-handed , so that when you get the victory , you'll know it wasn't you , but God. Anything under GOD'S control is never out of control. Be aware that the devil has a plan for your life. God has a plan for your life. So be ready for both. Just be wise enough to know which one to battle and which one to embrace.
