I prayed a scary prayer last week. It was a prayer of surrender. I gave God everything. I said that he has all of me and can use me however he wants. It scares me. For the first time in my life, i am not in control anymore. I told God that i am his, rich or poor, married or single. I belong to him. Since that time i have been more confused then ever. The job that i thought i had fell through. Right now i have no job. I don't know how i am going to earn money. The place that i have been working during the summer months in the past is not giving me hours. I don't know where God is leading me. For the first time in my life, I have no plan. I don't know what tomorrow will bring let alone this next summer and school year. God is asking me to trust him when i cannot see anything in front of me. I know he will guide and direct me. His timing is perfect. My prayer is that i will quiet myself so that I can hear his still small voice of direction. "Teach me how to live O Lord. Lead me along the right path. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently on the Lord." I don't know what this summer will bring but I do know that God is going to take me out of my comfort zone and make me uncomfortable. May I be able to discern what he wants from me for the summer and the coming school year.
