just some thoughts...

During quiet time today a verse really jumped out to me and has been on my heart ever since. Psalm 13:5 says this: "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation". This verse is a reminder for me personally of what I need to do everyday. It is so easy to get wrapped up in everything about me and my plans, that i forget to realize that my plans really do not matter. I know that I often times worry about things that I know I have no control over, so ultimately worrying accomplishes nothing. If I would take the time to realize that at the moment and trust in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5), all of my anxieties will vanish (1 Peter 5:7). His love is enough, and it is all we need. We are his children, and he cares for us and will provide.

Lord, forgive me for making selfish plans and getting irritated when my plans change. I acknowledge your presence in my life and understand that you open and close doors for a reason. I know that no matter what the destination is, and what doors are closed I will get there according to your perfect will for my life. Please help me to trust in your love everyday and rejoice in your sacrifices. Thank you for your never ending love and faithfulness that I do not deserve. In your Holy name, Amen.
