First PlaceSample

God made us. And as our Creator, God knows what’s best for us. But even when we know this is true, we sometimes struggle to take matters into our own hands. We want to control what’s happening in our lives, so we ignore what God commands in favor of what we want. But remember that God has given us commands, not to hold us back, but to give us more life. God loves us, knows what’s best for us, and wants us to have the best lives possible. When we remember that truth—when we keep it in first place in our hearts—we’ll be better able to trust God’s loving guidance in our lives.

This week, memorize this verse. Use it as a prayer to guide you toward remembering God’s love for you!
