Get Out of the Way

“He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.”

Acts 1:7 ESV

I'm a fixer. It's my nature. I like to fix the things around me. It goes back to control and wanting to be in charge of what happens next. 

This morning I was reminded that sometimes - no make that all the time - I just need to get out of the way. You see I pray and believe that God will do things but then I try to figure out ways to help. I guess part of me thinks God needs my help to fix my problems or the problems of those I love. But He doesn't. He doesn't need my help. He might use me to help in the process but I really just have to get out of His way. 

So today I'm praying for the things I know are needs or concerns in my life and my people's lives but I'm also praying that God will grow my faith and help me get out of the way. 

He's got this, I just have to trust Him.
