Getting Ready-21 Days of Prayerサンプル

Albert Einstein famously said “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” I really resonate with this quote in my own life. When I was sixteen, I knew it all. Now in my early 40’s I realize I truly don’t know much. And the beautiful truth about this revelation is that it leads to freedom. True wisdom doesn’t come from ourselves and our life experiences, but comes from God alone. Wisdom comes from God and if we want wisdom, all we have to do it ask for it. We serve a God who is faithful and willing to generously meet our needs.

So whether you are thinking through a monumental, life-changing situation right now, or you need wisdom in your everyday choices, when you ask with bold faith, God is willing and able to give wisdom beyond what we ask. So take a deep breath and rest in this truth today. You don’t have to have it all figured out. God knows you and your situation fully. In fact, “your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him” (Matthew 6:8). And he loves to help. So ask, trust, and let God do the rest!

Challenge: Commit to surrendering your needs today to God. Ask God for wisdom and let him give it to you. Then you will experience what resting in God truly looks like.

Prayer: Lord, I want to let go of my control. I give my situations to you today. [Share what is weighing on your heart.] I need your wisdom Lord. I trust you to lead and direct me. Build my faith today as I trust in you. Thank you for going before me. Amen.
