We just don't know enough or have enough power to make it on our own.<BR/><BR/>I'm so thankful that God's plan for us didn't stop with Jesus's death, resurrection, and ascension, but that He left us the Holy Spirit to compel us to travel ahead, and then to travel alongside us as our Comforter and Guide. Saying yes and leaning completely on the Lord, as you say, is what brings us such great joy, peace, and assurance of His presence in our lives.<BR/><BR/>Without Him, we're nothing.<BR/><BR/>I pray God's light and love always for you, my dear sister in Christ.<BR/><BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-61820064083892902132009-03-11T16:57:00.000-05:002009-03-11T16:57:00.000-05:00We discussed this in bible study last night.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus demonstrated this when He prayed 'not my will but thy will'.<BR/><BR/>I was brought up in the Catholic religion and I remember Lent as a holy occasion. I understand what it is to sacrifice. I need to do it more. <BR/><BR/>As a transgender, I come to crossroads (you could say my desert) from time to time. I really have no one but God when I have to go across. I feel compelled by the Holy Spirit to travel this road. I have experienced joy, peace, and the knowledge that He is with me.genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041499205158357183noreply@blogger.com
