Waking Up To Life In God’s Care

Some of us wonder where life will take us if we give our will and life over to the care of God.  We have anxiety about our past, and the effort required to change our ways seems intimidating.  We are standing at a crossroad and are not sure which way we should take.  If we go back to our old lifestyle we know things will get worse because addiction and sin never get any better, they always lead us further into darkness.  If we choose to give our lives over to the care of God, we fear having to live without our controlling dependency.  What a predicament? 

There is a way forward which seems obvious even though it is new and unknown – obey God’s commands and leave the outcome with Him.  We have admitted that we are powerless over our dependency, so it would be unwise for us to make decisions about what is best for us.  Recognizing what we have done to ourselves, to our loved ones, and to our friends surely is a wake-up call to trust someone other than ourselves.  God has already proved Himself worthy of our trust.  Through Jesus He has liberated us from sin and is offering us forgiveness and new life. 

God has continuously proved Himself to be faithful in all His ways. To effectively change our ways, we need to wholeheartedly give our will and life over to the care of God and trust Him to lead and guide us in the path of righteousness.

Prayer:  Loving God, I choose to give my will and life over to Your care.  I am fully relying on You to support my desire to change my ways.  Please strengthen me in my resolve to obey Your principles in all my affairs. Amen
