Be so confident about God’s plan that you don’t even get upset anymore when things don’t go your way
I love this quote for so many reasons – but mainly because THIS is my main goal in life!
I want to be so confident and so trusting in God’s will over my life that I legitimately never have anything to fear, be concerned or stressed about. Instead, I just show up, do my best every day, and unabashedly trust that all is working out accordingly to HIS plan for me.
I’ll admit that I am getting slightly better at this since I have lost so much.
I think its weird – I would have thought that after dealing with trauma, death & betrayal, I’d be more freaked out than ever. And I was, at the beginning. But after a LOT of prayer and God’s grace, I have come to realize that I have no control. None. Zero. I can’t change the weather any more than I can change what is going to happen to me tomorrow. All I can do is put my life in His hands and believe that He knows what is best for me and will lead me where He wants me to go. And if it’s not meant to be, that’s ok.
This isnt something that comes naturally to me – Im absolutely a control freak in my true form! But faith means letting go – and true faith means letting go truly.
My prayer for you today is that you let God do his thing. Let him guide your life and lead you where you are meant to go. Acknowledge that your pain is part of your story and it WILL mean something someday. Dont be upset when things do go your way, have faith that your Father in heaven has much bigger and better plans for you than to live a life of sorrow. He loves you and so do I.
