God replied to Moses, \u201cI Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.\u201d Exodus 3:14<\/p>\n

Worry had returned.<\/p>\n

I sat on the porch, while my family slept, and I wondered why nighttime gave it strength.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the evening, I’d spent a few hours talking with friends and finding a bit of comfort knowing that worry is a foe most of us battle. It runs through our humanness as a common thread.<\/p>\n

That night, on the porch, it was gripping.<\/p>\n

I rocked back and forth on our old rocker, the gentle creak breaking the silence of the night, the way that worry had broken into my mind.<\/p>\n

So, I sat still, perfectly still. And one thought became powerful and clear:<\/p>\n

When worry is gripping, I need to reach for something else.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I think about it, this is a critical place. This is where faith lives and breathes. This is the tender spot where I release the what-ifs and troubling possibilities. I\u2019m at a place of choosing. Either I hold worry or I open my hands, let it go, and reach for the Lord.<\/p>\n

I wanted to reach.<\/p>\n

I AM is one of my favorite names of God. When the Lord revealed Himself to Moses at the burning bush and commissioned him to stand face-to-face with Pharaoh and lead Israel out of Egypt, Moses was afraid. Anxious. He questioned God. Then he asked, \u201cWhat if they ask for your name? What do I tell them?\u201d<\/p>\n

God\u2019s reply was powerful: I AM WHO I AM.<\/p>\n

And He is unchanging. Moses\u2019 God is my God too. He\u2019s the Lord of glory. Strength. Power. Faithfulness. He\u2019s our Provider and Protector.<\/p>\n

That same God is present in my circumstances.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n

I sat the darkness that evening and spoke His name aloud.<\/p>\n

Because of I AM, I can give up control.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because of I AM, I can trust.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because of I AM, I can hope.<\/em><\/p>\n

I looked again at the vast, dark sky, the sky that stretched past where I could see. Suddenly, sitting there, I felt small. Not insignificant and small, but small when compared to His endless power, love and grace. My worry felt smaller too; it was too much for me to hold.<\/p>\n

I belong to the great I AM WHO I AM, and when I reach for Him, I can let go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
