Chatting with Jesus
Thursday, March 9, 2023
Lord, how often have I prayed I will trust You wholeheartedly in all things? You know my heart wants to be in the right place, but then, when it came time for the rubber to meet the road, I haven’t always stay true to my prayer, have I? Where do I start to learn to trust You completely? How do I go about changing my fickle ways? Recently, as I read and meditated in Luke 16, Your answer jumped off the page at me. You couldn’t have made it clearer.
“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest (unfaithful, untrusting) in little things, you won’t be honest (faithful, trusting) with greater responsibilities,” — Luke 16:10 (NLT) [emphasis added]
Lord, I see what You are saying. Start over. Begin to trust and obey Your Word with the smallest of incidents regardless how insignificant they seem to me.
Help me develop an attitude of constant prayer and suppress any grumbling or complaining. Life can be hard. I don’t need to make it more difficult by trying to solve issues by my own efforts, or try to manipulate an outcome. Help me learn to trust You with these basic issues so when a bigger issue arises, or a life-changing crisis happens, I will trust You completely. Or should I say, You can trust me to be faithful.
Lead me in faithfulness, even in the small things, Lord. Amen
THANKFUL
