Dreaming With God By Sarah Beth MarrSample

Surrendering our dreams and our plans to God is hard. Some days we will truly feel at peace, trusting that God is at work behind the scenes. But other days we will lose our footing, seemingly unable to get our emotions in line with surrendering. Those days feel cloudy, as if our faith in God is fogged up by questions and doubt. We tend to be hard on ourselves on those days because we think we should be able to trust God and be at peace, but remember: it’s a dance. Swaying back and forth between trust and doubt is how our faith grows. But as we sway through this dance of growing in our faith, God brings us to a place where we deeply believe that His will and His ways are best. Then we can take our grip on our dreams and trust His lead.
