Depend on God

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.

Proverbs 19:21 NLT
You can make many plans,
but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

God is the one ultimately in control of how each day turns out for each of us. He is the one that makes the sun rise in the morning. He is the one that wakes you up. He is the one that gives you your next breath. Don't take advantage of those blessings. Yes, blessings. It doesn't matter if you are in the deepest darkest hole in your life right now… You. Are. Blessed. He has a hold on your life. He decides whats next. You plan your day however you wish, but keep in mind that your plans might not match up with God's plans. And if they don't, well His plans override your plans. We have to anticipate that He might have a better idea for you today. Instead of looking around for things to do, do what is right in front of you. Focus only on one thing at a time and let all else vanish from your mind. Relinquish your plans, your control, everything. Because God is awesome, powerful, and totally in control. He will guide you each step of the way, showing you His will so that you may agree and make it your will. And in doing this, depend on Him. Let Him take the reins. Take your life day by day. Depending on Him each new day that He brings you. Do not worry about tomorrow or what you will need for tomorrow or what will happen tomorrow. Worry about today, except don't worry, because everything is alright. Ask God for what you need for today, and He will bless you with what you need. Do not be independent like the world teaches you to do. Be dependent like God teaches you to do. He will not fail you, ever. Even though it may seem like it sometimes because you do not get what you want. He never has and never will fail you.

Luke 1:78-79 NLT
Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.”
