Something to chew on… do you think the devil is easier to hear than God in the world we live in?

Day 8 done. For many years, I went to sleep asking God to show up in my dreams as I slept. I asked him to guide me, reveal things to me and even give me next steps. I also taught this to the people I was blessed to lead. And then, I not only stopped teaching it, I stopped doing it. On occasion I would think of it as I'd lie down, and on occasion I'd do it, but with no consistency. This challenge has brought me back to it. I go to sleep asking God to meet me in my dreams. God's word says the young will see visions, the old will dreams dreams and the generations after will prophecy. Samuel even HEARD God calling him in the night. I'm back to doing it. And, God is talking to me as I sleep. I wake up, give myself a little time to sit with it and then write it down. There is absolutely nothing better than asking God to give you future plans and visions as you dream. He is sooooo real!!! Hallelujah!!!

I’ve been dealing with and working through what surrendering means to me. It’s been a journey. How can I truly say I trust God, but not fully give up on trying to control the things and situations in my life?
