“Do not be wise in your own eyes fear the LORD and shun evil.” ( Proverbs 3:7) Instead, life works best when we remember the true source of our blessings-God-and focus on the things that please Him: “Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. In fact, the Bible promises that when we reach out to Him in prayer, He hears us: We show that we’re leaving our troubles and burdens and dreams in His capable hands. When we pray, we admit that His ways are higher than ours. “in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” ( Proverbs 3:6) We need more than a commitment to depend on Him we need to cry out to Him to show that dependence. Surrendering to God begins with our lips and our thoughts. What if we don’t feel like we can trust Him like that? That’s where step 2 comes in… 2. So, each day we must consciously lay aside our own plans and expectations-and surrender to His plans. “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” ( Romans 11:33)īut sometimes trusting Him completely like that can be tough.
We may know in our minds that He possesses all wisdom: Instead, we’re meant to rest in God’s understanding. But living the life God has called us to means unlearning that lesson. Most of us have faced disappointments, which have taught us that we can only depend upon ourselves.
