“I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord.” Jeremiah 10:23 Lord, lately I have been trying to orchestrate the course of my life. Especially as I enter into this new season, I find myself dictating plans to relieve any amount of stress or uncertainty. But, if I am being truthful with myself, this is actually causing more. Truth is God, planning or trying to plan is my way of coping with change and the unknown. Planning allows me to feel like I have some control in the matter when everything else seems to be out of control. But God, Your word, once again reminds me that this is not true. I am not in control, nor should I ever be in control, because that control is in Your hands. And often, I forget that this is the best place for that control to be. Control in my own hands is reckless, but in Your hands it is perfection. I forget that You are already on the other side of this new phase, this mountain in front of me. You already know the outcome to each job interview. You already know which roof will be over our head. You already know and have provided a way for me and for my family. So tonight God, just as Your word says, I ask that you correct me. Correct this false idea I have in my head about needing to be in control. Remove the fear and anxiety that comes with all of the upcoming decisions we have to make. Remind my heart that You KNOW. Your mighty hand is in all of this, and You will provide the BEST way. God, I ask that you help my heart surrender the plans I have sketched out and lay them at Your feet. I ask that you teach me to live in full surrender and doubt nothing that You do in this next season. You are GOOD. You are WITH US. And, God You SEE us. You see our struggle, You know our needs & You will comfort us through this next phase. Thank you for your amazing plan God. Thank you for being the creator of my life’s course. Amen
