Several events recently reminded me that we do not always need to have the last word. There are times when a situation has been resolved, whether we know it or not, and adding one more word could cause more damage. When we have troubles and call on God, we need to allow Him to work without us needing the last word!
God promises to be with us, to teach us, to guide us, to comfort us, and to protect us. When we have troubles, which we will have, we need to call on God and trust in Him. We need to allow Him to work and we need to have faith in His resolution. Even if we feel the urge to have the last word, we need to allow God to have the final say!
Resist the need to have the last word and allow God to have it instead!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for protecting me and delivering me from the troubles I face. Help me to grow in my faith and trust so I allow You to have the last word. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
