“‘For I know the plans I have for you’—this is the Lord’s declaration—’plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.'”
Jeremiah 29:11-13 HCSB
We all have times when we’re unsure of what is next for us. We wonder if we’re good enough and if we’re doing what the Lord has for us.
At any time, we can go to our Heavenly Father Who knows us fully and loves us completely. He will help us through the confusion. Reach out to Him.
When We Wonder
When we wonder…
Where to go
What to do
Who we are
Or how to be…
We can ask the One
Who knows…
All things from the beginning
Our hearts more than we do
The narrow way
The hairs on our head
The path to eternal life.
He will guide you
And stand beside you.
His love forever will endure.
No matter the struggles
Or questions we find,
The Lord has our answer
Every time.
The following words from Psalm 139:1-6 are especially comforting in helping understand just how close the Lord is to each of us. Read these verses slowly and let them sink in:
“Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I stand up; You understand my thoughts from far away. You observe my travels and my rest; You are aware of all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, Lord. You have encircled me; You have placed Your hand on me. This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.”
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for loving us constantly and completely even when we struggle to understand ourselves. You are all-knowing and available to help us through all things—big or small. Please help us to come to You often and trust in You always. For You, Lord, have the answers we need long before we even know to ask. In Christ’s name, Amen.
Journal: What have you been wondering about? Ask the Lord for His guidance and quietly listen for His answers.
