Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6 ESV

Sometimes we’re not ready to face what will happen next. We approach new experiences with reluctance and fear. We forget how it feels to remain faithful and trust in the timing of God’s will. And we need to be reminded how to welcome the power of His love.

God guides and provides. He has plans for our days. He leads us where we find passion and purpose for our lives. And He helps us complete the work He has begun. He wants us to feel the love of His faithfulness and surrender what holds us back from experiencing joy.

When we question our ability to move ahead, God wants us to remember we have been created to do great things. In times of wonder He helps us recognize why we’re not alone. He reminds us to TRUST in Him and be ready to step when He says, “Let’s go!”

We mustn’t let fear rule our lives! It will rob us of everything good. It will steal the heart of wholeness and make us believe things that are NOT true. But God WILL open our eyes in truth, so we will recognize our worth. He will guide and provide for our days and prepare us for what's to come. He will give us courage and help us find strength within.

Blessings begin with faith to BELIEVE God WILL handle EVERY SINGLE THING. “If He leads us to it, He will lead us through it.” We must surrender doubt, release our fear and allow God to work in our lives. As He prepares us to welcome peace, JOY WILL always follow...God WILL always provide.

Dear God, Thank you for the power of Your love. You provide peace and heal the wounds of weakness. Thank you for being patient while you shape our lives and renew us with Your strength. When circumstances of change place fear in our hearts, show us how to remove it and faithfully TRUST. Arm us with the power of Your Spirit, so we will clearly see what is good. Open our eyes so we will focus on You. Help us remember who plans our days while we patiently wait to be grown by Your greatness. Thank you for preparing us to welcome the joy YOU provide. You are an amazing Father and we love you! Amen
