God, it’s so difficult to let go of my plans and trust that You have my best interest in mind. When I’m waiting for a job, praying for a spouse, wondering if I should move, or believing for a calling to be fulfilled, it’s hard not to question You. Some days are anxiety-filled, but I can lean on the Truth of Your Word and stand in faith because You will be faithful! Help me remember Your timing is perfect and You have never been late (Habakkuk 2:3). You have planned good works for my life (Ephesians 2:10). And the best way for me to uncover Your plan is to be in Your Word (Psalm 119:105). Today, remind me of who You are and what You’re doing, even when I am struggling to trust You with what’s next. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
