Everyday: Growing in FaithSample

For most of my life, I have stressfully planned everything. As a student, I anxiously spent weeks preparing for auditions. I constantly planned for and stressed over every test and worked for weeks preparing even the easiest of assignments, which always led to breakdowns and sleep loss. As college ended, I realized I needed to plan for my future, which stressed me out.

Then, my wife got an unexpected opportunity to pursue her dreams across the country. Once she told me the news, I felt God pushing me to stop planning my life and follow her and God into the unknown.

But I was scared.

After days of prayer, God showed me that trying to plan my life only leads to stress. God’s path leads to endless blessings and purpose. Even with its struggles, unlike any plan you create, God’s path will give you peace during any adventure.

Today, let go of your plans. Take a breath and ask God to help you follow God’s path for your life.
