COMPLETELY RELY

Let’s be honest. It’s a tall order to completely rely on the Lord. It’s not that He’s unable to do what needs to be done, but it’s our inability to give up control that makes this so hard to do. We may know God always wants the best for us, but we worry His best and our desire may not be the same. We may believe He is capable, but what if His timing doesn’t line up with ours? And even more, we may have a track record of good choices and solid decisions, so suggesting we cannot depend on ourselves feels crazy. This is a radical step of faith, but you can trust an unknown future to a known God. When you walk this out, you’re choosing to surrender. You are telling the Lord you trust His ways over yours. And with each step forward, it keeps you open to letting God course correct if needed.

Prayer: Father, I confess there are times I struggle to completely rely on You. Sometimes I have a crisis of faith and get impatient. I hold on to my plans tighter than I should. Help me build up my confidence in You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
