Leaving All for His All
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:8 NKJV).
 
From the book God Calling by A. J. Russell we find this statement: “Leave all to Me.” Although this statement is not a direct quote from Scripture, it is in agreement with Scripture. Let these words sink deep into our hearts.
 
God, who is our all in all, wants us to leave our all with Him—all our cares, all our burdens, all our fears, all our worries. He also wants us to leave our hopes, our expectations, our needs, and our very lives with Him.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father God, there have been so many times in my life that I have placed other things or other people on the throne of my heart. I confess to you that I recognize that I have idolized my things, my position, my marriage and family, and even my hopes and dreams—having placed them in higher importance of my relationship with you. Thank you for these gifts, and help me to keep them in perspective, not in a higher priority.

Likewise, I have put worrying about my problems and concerns over trusting you. And I have held on to my hurts—emotional and physical, and not shared them or surrendered them to you, which keeps you from being able to work in them and robs you of all glory. Teach me Lord, to trust you with every area of my life! To give you glory and praise in the good and hard seasons! To trust that you are working all things together for my good, YOUR plan for my good (NOT MINE) because you love and care for me. In Jesus's name, amen.
