It takes daily relinquishment and trusting God that He will protect our wounded places better than we can ourselves. When we build the walls, it actually hinders Him from being able to reach in and heal us. God bless, strengthen and encourage you. I so understand the struggle.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572872315082254364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-15674125583959959632016-10-30T21:30:29.668-05:002016-10-30T21:30:29.668-05:00"May God continue to grow us."

Love the line, "But you and I both know how easy it is to, thought by thought, word by word, action by action, start running your own show again.".......No, No more running my own show!!!

"what it is to live in inner stubbornness, resistance and rebellion. I also know what it is to repent and to return to relinquishment." There is something good actually in knowing both sides of the coin. I appreciate the repentance and the relinquishment far more because I was stubborn and rebellious, resisting Him is all ways for many years. May God continue to grow us.

I see myself in your words. He is teaching me to be more Humble, but I find myself continuing down the same path. Over the years, I have built a wall, I know it is over past hurts so I'm not as loving as I once was. I pray, but I continue to harbor the hurt feelings. So I feel that I still Love, but I run into that wall when it comes to showing love to others. Anyway, hard to define exactly, but I am a work in progress, and your post about relinquishing is helpful this morning. The panic that I feel when I relinquish my love and time to others in life has become a stumbling block. I pray and give it to God, but does seem that I am handing it to him with a hand that is clasped instead of open. Your post is a great reminder of that to me, and I need to just Trust more and hand it over. Have a great Sunday. <br /><br />Peabea @ Peabea Scribbles Sunday Scripture Blessings.

As I pray, I take whatever concern I have, or the person for whom I am interceding by the hand. I walk out to the meadow, the green pasture, and I place my concern, or the hand of the person for whom I am interceding, in Jesus’ hand…knowing that He is sovereign, He loves me, and He loves the person for whom I am interceding more than I do. He has a plan, a hope, and a future for each of us…and I walk away, thanking God for how He is working in my life and in the lives of those for whom I am interceding. I experience a feeling of peace…as Catherine Marshall prayed, Lord, I trust You…You know what You’re doing…I relinquish my will to Yours. Many blessings to you!beth willis miller's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854449798070643671noreply@blogger.com
