Good word for today from a new friend, Dottie Wilson…. as I head to hospital in Bham for a biopsy of my thyroid, I’m comfortable and at peace. I know God’s goodness, sovereignty, presence, and personal affection for me. It’s a worthy prayer for any day, any circumstance.
“Whatever circumstance, may be confronting you today, let go of needing to know why and learn to rely on Gods goodness, His sovereignty, His good and perfect plan. Sometimes God gives us opportunities to come to a deeper level of trust in him. When we rely on his sovereignty instead of our own strength, a deeper level of trust and faith is cultivated.
God wants us, to release, to Him, our need to know, and trust him with His plan. When something happens that can’t be explained, God’s word says, in Proverbs 3:5, ” lean not on your own understanding.” Even through our darkest times God’s will prevails. In Job 2:3, God said, Job had “maintained his integrity.” That kind of faith trades helplessness for hope. Many times we do not know the why, but we keep our eyes forward, as we take the next step in faith. God’s plan often unfolds outside our line of sight.
God, we fully release, to you, our circumstances. We release, to you, our need to know why. Enable us, as you did Job, to maintain our integrity, and take us to the place, you desire us to be, deep rooted, anchored, established and grounded, in you. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen”. 5/11/23
