Thankful for a quote that speaks to me.

Faith is the ceasing from all our natural efforts and all other dependence; faith is confessed helplessness casting itself upon God's promise and claiming its fulfillment; faith is putting ourselves quietly into God's hands for Him to do His work.
-Andrew Murray 


I am person who really enjoys thought provoking, insightful quotes.  I like to jot them down in my journal etc. Every now and then I come upon one that I may not totally grasp, but I will read it until I can understand it!  Like the Bible says, "In all your getting, get understanding." This particular quote above, resonated within me.  I stumbled on someone's blog and read this quote, and I knew it was for me.
You see, my faith is what gets me through the day. I am not one who has to have complete control, but when something happens in my life or someone's else's, I have a tendency to want to fix/solve the problem.
This quote fits me and my current state in life, like a puzzle piece. I confessed to God, that I am helpless, I depend on Him, I cast all of my cares on Him, and I put myself in His hands.  He holds my world in His hands.  And that I am thankful for.
