Lord, send me where you will. Guide me to those who need encouragement or physical help of some kind. I will not be hurried or rushed, for my schedule is in Your hands. I will not leave a trail of tension and apprehension. I will leave tracks of peace and stability everywhere I go.
–Charles Stanley
This has been my daily prayer the past couple of months. I am been convicted of the fact that I love to plan out my day and when it doesn’t go the way that I plan, I get upset. Do I ever stop and think that the Lord might have bigger and better plans for my day? Instead of planning, I long to trust the Lord. I long to give each and every day to Him and to go where He leads me.
If I live in this way daily, will it flow over into my plans for the future? That has been my prayer. I pray that if I trust Him with the day to day decisions that He will teach me to trust Him with the HUGE decisions, such as going on the World Race.
I am not going to lie; going on the World Race is going to be hard. This past week I realized that I am going to be leaving my job, my family, and my best friends. BUT, didn’t I trust the Lord to provide a job for me, to provide an amazing family and friends who support me through anything? If I trusted Him with that, I am going to continue to trust Him throughout all the changes and transitions I will be going through before, during and after the World Race.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight
