“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” Proverbs 16:3
“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
Both verses point to a heart that proclaims: Thy will be done.
When our hope and trust is in God, we can place today on the altar, step back, breath deep, and trust God. And then tomorrow… do it again. One day at a time. I may not know how it will all work out, but I know Him. And He is more than enough.
As I stress, think way too much, and ponder the “what if…,” He says, “I’ve got this, Laura.” And He does. I know He does. Why oh why, then, do I so often snatch it right back?
There is great peace that comes in praying, “Thy will….” And there is such great uneasiness, anxiety, and frenzied panic when I try to work it out (or worry it out) on my own.
Jesus, thank you for the serene, calming, peace, blessed assurance that comes in trusting you. I commit (again) my life, my children, my marriage, my ministry, my friendships, my home, my finances – all to you. I ask you to determine my steps today. I (once again) resolve to commit all that I do to You.
Love this. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day in Jesus.
