I have the Serenity prayer that hangs on my wall and it reads, God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference. I am thankful that over the past several months I have had a new wisdom concerning knowing the difference. A release of sorts about not wanting to change the past, and a new acceptance that I am right where I am suppose to be as long as I am keeping the Lord first in my life. I thank God and the Holy Spirit for that wisdom and serenity.
I really felt drawn to this scripture in the study today Psalms 143:10 Teach me to do thy will for thou art my God, thy spirit is good lead me into the land of uprightness.

Brendolynn:

I've just recently found the same release you're talking about. For a long time I've been somewhat obsessed with a desire to go back and change my past, to do things differently, to do something to influence things towards MY will. It's only been recently that I have noticed an absence of those desires. I believe the Holy Spirit has shown me something similar to what you've described... that I am where God needs me to be right now and that it is His will, not mine, I should focus on.

The journey continues, and I'm feeling so blessed by it.
