Tamera Mowry Housley shared a faith-filled message about surrendering to God’s will with her Instagram followers.
“‘Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.’ I love that verse. That is Psalm 91:1-2, and I am learning currently to do exactly that,” the actress said in a recent Instagram video.
Mowry Housley continued, “The safest place is in the will of God, whatever God’s will is for my life. To rest in Him just because you are a child of God doesn’t mean that your life is going to be easy, but what we are promised is that we are in the hands of God and that God is in control. I’m learning that everything happens for the good, for those that love the Lord, and I am learning to rest in His will, rest in His word, that God’s got you. He’s got us.”

“No matter what it may look like with your earthly eyes, know that if you dwell in the shelter, if you dwell in His will, in His world, walk in obedience, you can trust and rest and know that God’s got you and that God fights our battles,” she said.
This is the latest in a series of faith-filled social media videos Mowry Housley has been sharing on Instagram.
“I was a little hesitant to do this because of the uncertainty of backlash, people unfollowing, but how can I not?” she said in a video. “If you know me, you know that I am a woman of faith. I proudly call myself a Christian, and a lot of the times when I speak of my faith, it comes from a place of encouragement, love…so, I thought, ‘What would be a fun way of expressing that, maybe once a week?’”
The actress then prayed for anyone watching the video: “I pray for those that have put their trust in You, and I can speak for myself when I say this, that we are able to leave it there. I want to learn in the peace of completely letting go and knowing the balance of what is in my control, and what is in God’s control. Help us understand that, God, today. Help us to trust in Your word and give You our battles. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.”
In a follow-up video’s caption, Mowry Housley wrote, “I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect this much support. When I decided to start this series and share this part of my life…I wasn’t sure how many of you actually wanted to see it. Your responses have meant the world to me!”
“My faith didn’t happen overnight,” she explained. “It started with me opening my Bible and seeking God, and I promise you, that changes you. I’m still on this journey…What I’ve learned is that God isn’t asking you to be perfect. He just wants a real, honest relationship with you, and He loves you through every season, the good and the messy.”
Mowry Housley’s series of social media videos are serving as encouragement and inspiration for her followers as they grow in their faith.
