Starting today...
...God will be the source of my confidence...the Lord will guide you daily, all you need to do is ask. Throughout my life until now I have relied on God with half of my heart, time, and effort, however today is different. Today I am choosing to FOLLOW where His plans may take me, not where mine my stray.
Remember the interaction between Peter and Jesus, when Jesus predicts Peter's denial...
"Peter asks, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
Then Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!"" ~John 13:37-38
I find that most often I am similar to Peter...prays declaring I will follow God's plan and live the life He has planned out for me, but God knows my flaws/weaknesses/sins. He has seen me fail. It is now, as I build a relationship these failures started to become more apparent to me as well. Starting today, my own control, plans, and goals will become His...through prayer, patience and love I hope to release my addiction to denial of God's plans and to gain confidence in His plan and His time.
