Dark places are meant to cause you to stumble. But understand, God has given us light through His Word. When we turn on the light of His Word, it enables us to see clearly. It enables us to avoid the pitfalls of life. It enables us to be strengthened and it helps us to overcome. We have to start turning on the light of God's Word through reading, meditation, and prayer.
When we walk in a well lit room, we can see everything that is set before us. We can see the distractions and recognize them for what they are. What good does it do to have a light or lamp in a room and still walk in the dark trying to find your way around. You are God's room ... His dwelling place. His Holy Spirit dwells in you. Turn on the lamp of His Word and let Him lead, guide, and direct you.
How are you handling your season of pain? Are you quitting? Are you giving up? Are you
standing? Are you moving forward in spite of? You have to stand strong through it all. Understand where you feel weak, God is strong. He is holding you. He has promised to deliver you. He has said that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Understand to handle means to grip. What are you gripping to? Is your grip on God or are you trying to hold tight to your situation in hopes that you can bring about a change in it. Understand, only God can change it. So instead of trying to get a grip ... learn how to release. Learn how to let go. Learn how to let God be God in your life.
What is stopping you now? Stopping you from surrendering? Stop you from stepping out on faith? Stopping you from believing? Stopping you from obeying? What is it in your life that is hindering you from resting and receiving God's blessings.
Do you trust God "enough"? Do you trust Him enough to let everything else go. To give up your status to make a statement about the realness and reality of God. Lack of trust will cause you to hold on to people, places, and things. Do you trust God enough to let it all go? To believe that He has a plan and to know that His plan is better.

"Letting Go"
Ministered By Steffany Frizzel Gretzinger & Bethel
You said. Do you remember what you told God the last time you were going through? Do you remember when you said God if you deliver me, I will serve you? Are you doing what you said? Are you giving God your all or are you walking on the borderline. When you walk on the borderline, you are uncertain, not quite there, and undecided.
Have you made the decision to serve God completely? To give Him your all. To lay everything else down. Are you ready to fully commit? God is going to take care of you. He hears your voice and His ears are open to your cry. Make sure you honor your word to Him as He honors His Word to you.
All Sufficient. The word all means completely, totally, and entirely. Sufficient means necessary, adequate, and enough. Understand, God is all sufficient. We are complete in Him. Everything we need can be found totally and entirely in Him. Whatever is necessary to walk out our day to day lives, is in Him. He is adequate and His love is enough. God is all sufficient.
The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that God is able to make all grace "abound" towards us, so that we can "abound" in all things. When we abound in God, we thrive, we flourish, we prosper, and we overflow. For to abound means to thrive, flourish, prosper, and overflow.
Moment by moment. Step by step. Day by day. God has not changed. He is still there. He has not left us nor forsaken us. He hears all, sees all, and knows all. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Our situations do not dictate His ability. Whether we need healing, finances, peace, joy, or whatever else, it's not to hard for God. All He wants is our surrender. One definition of surrender means to give a seat, office, or position to someone. God wants us to surrender our need for control to Him. He wants us to allow Him to have full reign in our lives.
We have to learn how to let go. To let go and to allow Him to have the position of authority in our lives. When someone has the authority, they have the "right to command". They have the "power to act" on your behalf. It is time to allow God to move on our behalf so that the command of His Word can move in our lives freely and cause things to change. Learning to let go is a moment by moment, step by step, and day by day process. But understand, as you surrender it all to God, you will see the changes that only God can make in your life.
What is your motivation? What motivates you to move? Are you motivated by people? Are you motivated by money? Are you motivated by opportunity? What is it that motivates you? We should be motivated by God and His Word.
When someone is motivated, they feel as though they have a reason or incentive. Is your motivation based on how you feel or what you feel you will get out of it? What is it? Whatever your motivation is, it is also what your primary focus is. It's time to focus in on God and His Word. It's time to let God have the fullness of our focus. Our focus is our central point of attraction, attention, and activity. What is it that you are drawn to? What is it that that has captivated your attention? What is it that you are putting your maximum effort towards? If it is not God, then it is time to make a change. To shift. To refocus and to make sure our motivation for what we do is based on God and His Word.
