C. S. Lewis said, "Trusting God must be a foundational decision that is not based on our current circumstances. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8). We must be grounded in the belief He travels with us through our days. In our daily prayer, we should invite Him along, as this is how our trust will grow."
All too often when things in our world are causing problems or panic we immediately try to figure out what we should do to fix it, change it, or make it go away.
The thing is, the first thing we should do is go to God and talk to Him. C. S. Lewis is right. We have to make a decision to trust God. That has to be our foundation. Only by trusting Him can we see clearly through the circumstances. He wants good for us.
I tell God what is going on, and how I feel about it. My concerns and cares over it. Then I remind Him that my trust is in Him and that I am putting my worries and the situation into His hands. Trusting Him to work His perfect will for me in this situation; now on earth today just as it is in Heaven. That is the only way I can receive peace in the situation.
Prayer:
Lord, be with me today. I surrender to you my steps seeking your guidance throughout the day. Giving me the wisdom I need to do the things you direct me to do in all situations.
For I trust in You to work everything out for my good according to your word. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
