AMAZING GOD!

Wow! So I teach the 5th & 6th graders at church on Sunday mornings. This morning, Jacob (the children minister's son), passed out these cards that had some encouraging phrases on them. He held them face down and had each kid pick one randomly. After everyone was done picking their card, he gave the LAST one to me. I looked at it and almost cried. This is what it said:

Trust in HIS timing
Rely on HIS promises
Wait for HIS answers
Believe in HIS miracles
Rejoice in HIS goodness
Relax in HIS presence

If you read the post before this, you might understand why this was so powerful to me. Every single one of these "things to do" related to me. While all relate to me, two really stood out. First, Believe in HIS miracles. I think I really struggle with BELIEVING god will perform miracles in MY life. I have the faith that he CAN do it, and even believe he WILL do in others' lives', but where I fail in my faith is believing he will do it in MY life. God has performed many miracles in my life, but at this point, I have a hard time believing he's going to do something else great in my life. Maybe I'm not thankful enough, or faithful enough, but I just don't believe. Currently, I'm having a hard time believing I could actually get a great job after graduation, and that Scott could get a great job. Whatever the reason for my disbelief (is that the word I want to use here?), I want to change. I want to believe God will do good things in my life. I want to believe he is going to provide me a great job after graduation, and guide me down the right path from here. I want to have the faith of a mustard seed that has the ability to move mountains! Maybe this is just normal "jitters" when one graduates from college, but I don't want to be NORMAL. The second one that really stood out to me was "Relax in HIS presence". I have been a "worry wart" ALL of my life. I was asking my dad when I was 6 about our financial situation because I thought we might run out of money. I definitely don't relax in HIS presence. Honestly, I'm not sure I would know how. How do you relax in the presence of God? I want to, desperately. Are there any practical answers to this question? When I figure it out I'll let you know, but for now, all I know to do is pray.
