Pray: 14 Daily Moments to Quiet Your Mind & Center Your SoulSample

What big decision are you currently facing in your life? Are you deciding whether to pursue a different job? Are you seeking a new home? Or maybe you are in need of a wardrobe change or a healthier relationship. Everyone is constantly in a cycle of making decisions, and often fear gets in the way. Today, hit pause for a second. Before the rush of the day starts, spend a moment with God. Take a deep breath in, then exhale. Now, lift up your fears to God and shift your focus to the Word of God. God's thoughts are higher than your thoughts. He knows what is best for you in any and every situation. Depending on God to direct your life can be daunting and demanding. It requires the highest level of trust. This is difficult. Not knowing what to expect yet being expected to trust can seem frightening. Human nature drives us to seek knowledge of what will happen next, but trusting in God requires us to seek His assurance over our human nature. God calls to you with loving-kindness. He knows what's best for you. He has a great plan for your life, and His council will direct your steps. Do not fear. God plans to prosper you and not to harm you. He plans to give you hope and a future. Therefore, you can be courageous! Through trust, step outside fear and into the best life God has for you. PRAYER God, I praise You because You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You do not faint or grow weary, and Your understanding is unsearchable. You are strong and courageous. You are steadfast and faithful. There are times, God, when I struggle to trust You and believe what You say I start to listen to the voices around me instead of Your voice. In times of weakness, I have faltered and feared. But Your loving­kindness never ends. Thank You for Your faithfulness even when I am not faithful. Thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit to overcome fear. Thank You for the blessings You've given me. Thank You for giving me direction and disciplining me in a loving way, God. Thank You that I am not bound by fear but instead drawn in by perpetual trust. Lord, thank You for hearing me and listening to me. Give me direction for this day and guide my steps to the best possible path. Give me wisdom and joy in the search for what's next. Help me seek Your will over my own. When I struggle to know what to do next, give me the peace that comes from knowing that I am in Your loving hands. Amen.
