Trust

I need Jesus. That's it. I keep coming back to it, because it's so true. He's in control. He is love, He is truth, and He will never let me down. I don't know why I fail to trust so often. I am constantly needing reminders to who He is, and of who I am in Him. Yet even then, I often find myself (very often in fact) trying to direct my own steps, doubting in His leading. Like, theoretically I know it, but in my actions I am still so full of doubt.

Well I'm ready Jesus. I'm ready to lay down my life, and along with it my ideas about how things should happen and in what timing, and just trust You. You are faithful. You know who I am and your Word tells me that you prepared good works in advance for me to do. So this doesn't mean that I'm going to be apathetic in my faith, but rather that I'm going to lay down all that worry, insecurity, doubt and fear. I'm not picking it up anymore, and am certainly NOT going to make it part of my identity.

Thank you Lord, that my life is in your hands. Your plans are good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2), and you have plans to propser me, to give me a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I can write this knowing that my future, my present, my hopes, my dreams, all is in your hands. I can trust you with my life, and I do. Here's my life. Lead me, reveal Yourself to me, guide me and direct me, use my life to further your kingdom. Teach me how to trust you, how to relax, how to see beyond myself, and truly serve and love others. I want my life to be a God-centered, God-focused life, and everything else will fall into place. You are my all in all, help me to really live like it. Teach me how to walk with you. Thank you Jesus.
