Proverbs 3:5-7 - Wisdom for What's Nextნიმუში

God Will Give You Wisdom
I’ve fixated on a particular problem for months, looked at it from every angle, broken it apart and put it back together. But I can’t find peace.
I feel weary, so tired of worrying, exhausted from carrying the weight. I've tried to rely on my own wisdom and it has worn me out. I need God's wisdom instead.
I pause and pray, God, give me the wisdom to know what work is mine to do today. I release everything and everyone else to you.
I feel a shift within my soul as soon as I finish. I thought I wanted a solution, but what I really needed was to surrender. Stop fighting what I can’t change. Start focusing on my own life instead of what I can’t fix. Release responsibility for other people, and return to what God has asked of me.
The funny thing? The second I said “amen,” the person I’d been struggling with sent me a text message. I’d been holding on so tight and when I finally let go, it seemed to unlock something in a way beyond what my human mind is able to comprehend.
I’ve had to pray that same little prayer over and over again. I’ve said it at least five times this morning. I might say it a hundred times before I go to sleep tonight. And that’s okay. Surrender is often a process, not an event.
If you’re worn out from trying to control something or figure out what's next, I’m inviting you to say this prayer with me too.
Today let’s do our work and let God do his.
God, give me the wisdom to know what work is mine to do today. I release everything and everyone else to you.
What work is yours today, and what do you need to release?
