Letting go and Letting God

As mentioned in my prior posts, my insurance denied me and I am in the appeal process (w/attorney's help). I feel like I am having trouble letting go of this and allowing the Lord to handle this. I know there are many other Christians out there that have trouble letting go of their situation with WLS and giving the WHOLE thing over to the Lord. I would like to ask that you all pray for me and one another in that our faith would be stronger and that we CAN let go and let God. I feel this edge of panic, "What if my surgery never gets approved, I will be stuck in this overweight body and I will only get worse." Anyone else out there have the same thoughts?

I had my original consultation 9/04 and was beginning to prepare my appeal for insurance when hubby fell into deep depression and lost his job (and insurance). It took me almost 1 year to the day to finally get the surgery and I ended up pulling together money from several sources to pay out of pocket. During the "wait" I determined to make good use of the time, so I joined Weigh****chers and worked like crazy to get my blood sugars in good control. I was using the walking track at the YMCA to help get into the best shape that I could. I did not loose much weight, but I felt like I was working toward a goal, it was not a lost cause...you only fail when you quit trying. God's timing is perfect and the devil would love nothing more than to steal your hope and confidence...I was just reading James 4:7-8 this morning. The first step is to "submit yourselves to God." The next promise after submission (and obedience and listening) is to "resist the devil and he will flee from you." The final thought is to "draw closer to God and He will draw closer to you." God is faithful. If you begin to feel distant from Him, seek Him wholeheartedly and you will find Him. I hope this brings you comfort and peace.
