Posted by Father, here I am again, coming before You with the pieces of my heart that still don’t know how to rest. You see the parts of me that try to understand everything, the parts that want control, the parts that panic when I cannot see the full picture. And yet Your word calls me into a different way of living — a way where trust becomes my posture. So, Lord, teach me to trust You more.
You are the One who said I should trust You with all my heart. Not the easy places only. Not the parts where I feel strong. All. So today I surrender the areas where I still depend on my own wisdom. I surrender the decisions that weigh on my mind. I surrender the fears that whisper what if. I lay them down before You because You are the God who does not fail.
Your word says that when I trust You and stop leaning on what I understand, You will direct my paths. You will straighten what is crooked. You will guide me around what I cannot see. So I choose to lean on Your faithfulness instead of my reasoning. I choose to rest in Your love instead of my worry. I choose to believe that You are already working ahead of me.
Help me to remember that trust is not passive. It is the decision to hold on to Your word even when my feelings shake. It is the choice to wait when my flesh wants to rush. It is the courage to obey even when the full outcome isn’t clear. Strengthen my heart with this kind of trust.
Today, Lord, teach me to trust You more than I did yesterday. Teach me to trust You with what I cannot change. Teach me to trust You with what I hope for. Teach me to trust You in the quiet places and in the loud storms. And let the peace that comes from trusting You guard my heart today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
