Be Honest With God

Matthew 11:28 NKJV
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Part of yielding is being willing to be honest.

Don’t ignore your feelings. But don’t allow your feelings to become the driving force behind everything you do either.

Feelings make for a wonderfully vibrant and rich life, but feelings simultaneously make terrible gods.

If you can’t be honest with the God who gave you the ability to feel things, how can you put yourself in a place to allow Him to come in and heal the area that needs to be healed?

It’s allowing yourself to be honest with God about how you feel and what’s going on so that your feelings don’t become idols that dictate everything you do and don’t do.

Jesus said, Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

The ability to be honest in front of God kicks the doors wide open. It doesn’t just take a yoke of bondage off of you, it destroys it.

Things begin to change when you get to the place where you say, I’ve had enough of doing this my way. My way is not getting me anywhere.

He desires honesty.

Sometimes the most powerful prayer you can pray is simply, Help.

Here’s a challenge for you today:
Be completely honest with God about one area you have been trying to carry or handle yourself. Don’t hide it, minimize it, or pretend you’re fine. Bring it to Him and simply pray, Lord, help me.
