Lord, help me not fret. I don’t want a worrying heart. I want a faithful heart. You are my God and I want to believe You are in control of all things. My carnal self wants to question if You really are in control when I cannot understand why things turn out as they do, or not go as I planned. Did I sign up for this when I committed to following You, Jesus? But as I seek You, the part of me that wants to grumble is suppressed by the Holy Spirit. Your Spirit reminds my born-again spiritual self how You have met my needs in the past. As only You can, Lord, You worked out circumstances I found unsolvable, changed people’s attitude toward me, or redirected my steps to avoid costly setbacks. I may be fearful at times, and that’s okay. That’s normal. But because You are my God, I need not be afraid. You’re my solid foundation that I stand upon. As Proverbs 16:9 states “we make our plans, but You [Lord] direct our steps.”
Thank You, Lord, for the confidence to know You are in control of all things. Amen.
THANKFUL
