“Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat - for he grants sleep to those he loves” (Ps 127:1-2).
Ever just find yourself struggling to be successful with something and not knowing why, no matter how much time and effort you’ve invested, it just doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?
Sometimes it may not just be the lack of effort but rather too much effort and not enough allowing room for God to just do what He does best and that includes, allowing Him in taking hold of what you are trying to build and grow it in a way that will rightfully serve Him, not us.
A powerful point was made in a devotional that I read when the devotional said,”How does one die so that Christ can be our all and all? It usually takes a crisis of significant proportions for most people to relinquish the control of their lives. It means we come to the end of ourselves and our striving to control the events in our lives and we finally come to the place where we can say, “Lord, I surrender. Please take full control of my life.1
Sometimes it takes realizing that the more we try to push the circle into where the square should go, not only the less results we get, but the more needless stress, we create.
It takes a little humility and acceptance that as much as we like to try to do things ourselves, like just wont’ get easier until we give a little ourselves and allow God to take control for us.
Share with us this Sunday, what this verse means to you and how God has taken over and help you in areas that you couldn’t accomplish without His guidance.

I have an award for you.
What a great idea! Is this something you are doing for the future? Will you be starting next Sunday? Have you answered these questions already and I missed it? Thanks for answering them again, if you have.
Good evening! “Sunday Praise and Worship” is something that I have going every Sunday but you\’re free to respond during the week as well.
I\’m praying that it can pick up and just be a way to share our favorite sermons we might have heard that Sunday with others, or reflect on a verse that touch our heart or posted. I definetely would love to have you participated and don\’t forget to grab a linkback button to let others know.
It\’s just a way to keep focus on not so much the day as just keeping our focus on our Heavenly Father and sharing in praise and worship of Him.
