"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
- Jeremiah 29:11
Father, how true these words are! You know how to give me a hope at just the right time! When I feel like I can no longer continue on the path in front of me, you are there with just enough encouragement. You reveal another part of the puzzle to where my life is headed and how I can live to glorify you. I love this passage, but I love the context of this passage more! If you continue to read, it says, "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." I will strive to seek you with all of my heart so that I may continue to find you in the midst of this broken world! How glorious are your ways and how perfect are your provisions! Lord, I pray that Ryan and I can make the best decision about the new job; that we would choose the path that leads to your glory! That we would seek your will in our lives from a job to a family to moving; (that we would come before you for all we desire!) Father, help my attitude to be at peace with the things I am fighting! May I adopt a joyful heart in the most difficult times! You know what my heart is struggling with; may I give the control over to you and not worry about controlling others! You manage them much better than I do anyway!
Lord, thank you for your love. Even when I fall and the day is hard, you are next to me picking me up and brushing me off! I can't wait to feel the full power of your love in heaven! Oh glorious day!
In Christ's beautiful name, Amen.
