Verses | Psalm 94:18, Psalm 27:5, Psalm 3:5, Jeremiah 17:7-8

Psalm 94:18 is a beautiful reminder of the unconditional, everlasting relationship we can have with our Heavenly Father. In circumstances that seem unexpected or out of my control, maintaining a posture of faith and trust in the Lord can often be challenging.

In the past, I have falsely believed that taking control over situations would bring me comfort and peace. I thought I could shift the outcome when I had things in order, in my hands, and in my control. During those times, I fell short. Notice my language and posture: I, me, my. In reality, it’s not about me but all about Him, the great “I AM”.

Jeremiah 17:7 (NIV) says, “But blessed is the one who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.”

Not in our strength but in Yours, Lord.

Not in our understanding but in Yours, Lord.

Not in our will but in Yours, Lord.

Are you willing to surrender and put all your trust in Him, even if it means you’re not in control? I have learnt that the false security of control will not sustain you, but the Heavenly Father will. That’s the Lord’s promise.

Prayer | Lord, I thank You for Your love that sustains me. Thank You for giving me the strength to endure. Help me to place my trust in You continually, through all circumstances. Thank You for shepherding me - I choose to follow You. I draw close to You today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
