When I find myself in the middle of a challenging situation, my instinct is to try to fix it, control it or even run from it. There are so many things that I don't understand. Walking in faith and trusting in his will for me has, at times been simultaneously comforting and frightening. I know that he is working toward good in my life. I know that he has placed me where he wants me. The big picture is clear. He is my lover and provider. Protector and healer. I know that he is all sufficient. It's the details that I tend to fret over. Like, what do I need to do right now to get to where it is he wants me to be? Am I making the right decisions? Do I need to do more or maybe step back and let go? I know for sure that he desires that I love as he loved and that I see with his eyes. He doesn't want me to be afraid.
So, I move forward each day, trusting in the basic truth that he is in control and that everything will truly be ok. I feel that all I can do is seek his will. Be in his word. Pray for his wisdom and guidance. And then let him do the work he has intended in my life and in the lives of those around me.
Dear God, heavenly father, I pray that you will give me the ability to see things as you do. That you will help me to seek, know and do your will, outside of my own desires. Life can be confusing. Please give me discernment, guidance and wisdom. I lean on you, Lord. On your strength. Help me to forgo my pride and my ego and to be your hands and feet. Help me to allow your light to shine in my life, that others may see your glory. I love you Lord. I want you to be with me. I know you are faithful and merciful. I give this over to you with confidence and assuredness. Thank you for your perfect love.
Amen
