Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will trust that God is working all things for good in my life.
Those of us who come from an unstable background often feel vulnerable when faced with something new. We are used to controlling things around us so that we avoid any additional pain or disappointment that may result from being part of an unfamiliar event.
However, when we decide to trust God, we can relax. God “has our back” and God is “on our side.” We live in a world where each day seems to bring surprises, some of which are good, and others not so good. When we are surrendered to God’s will, He will work in any challenging circumstance to bring about a better solution than we could ever hope for or imagine.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. (Psalm 37:4-5 ESV)
With a willing heart and a gracious manner, we do what we can in any situation and then settle down and relax, knowing that God is guiding us.
Prayer: Loving God, I am grateful that I can release the pressures and burdens of each day into Your capable hands. Help me to stay focused on what You say and just leave the rest. You are a good God and You work all things for good in my life. Help me to trust You! Amen
