John 16:1-16 (NIV)
1 "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

5 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. 7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.

16 "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."

Father the reason why I'm feeling so low, is it because I'm trying to take charge of so many things in my life? When things don't go my way, I'm disappointed and sad. When things get rough, I'm stressed.

Lord, I confess all these worries to You, and cast them all unto You. You're my Saviour, my Salvation, my Provider, and I cast everything to You. Lord I don't want to keep holding on to things that are not mine in my heart. I'm tired. If it’s not Your will, I shall obey and be free in You.

I entrusted my life to You, and now I pray that You answer me Lord, that You take them all away. I walk with faith that everything that I trust unto You will be made good in Your time and plans. I trust You with my life. I know You'll take care of me if only that I come.

I’m here Father...
