Praying As We Wonder, "Where is life going from here?"

 WHERE IS LIFE GOING FROM HERE?

There are so many things in life that we have no control over and that number seems to be increasing by the day.  We don’t have all the options we wish we had.  If there’s one thing these past couple of years has brought into focus for us it’s how limited our resources of time, energy, money, and knowledge are. 

We humans are quite small and fragile in the big scheme of things, wouldn’t you say?  We’re easily brought to a place of desperation, aren’t we?  Thankfully God is there when we finally realize our need and makes all we need available to us.

God has said:  “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  2 Corinthians 12:9

In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.  Psalm 34:6

Loving God, we are so grateful that You are with us every moment of every day, every step of the journey of life.  You truly are all we need and you make available to us all that we need.

Forgive us for the many times when we followed our own ways and the ways of the world, rather than seeking to see You and put our hand in Yours and walk with You.  When we realized our independent self-centered lives were taking us on a downward spiral to a place we didn’t want to go and we didn’t know where to turn next, there You were, just waiting for us to turn to You for help and saving. 

It’s true that we don’t really know where life it taking us from this point on.  So many things have been challenged and changed in recent times that none of us saw coming, but today and going forward we are grateful that we can find the path when we keep our eyes on You and follow Your leading.

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.  Psalm 34:15

We know that You are with us. You care and You are going to get us to where we need to go if we will just put our hand in Yours. 

Give us willing hearts to live in the vulnerability of not being able to know everything on our own but rather finding all we need as we surrender our will and our lives into Your care again today.  Amen

Well I want to do that today, don't you?  Have a great day.
