Confiding in the Lord rather than Self-will

James 4:13 - 4:15
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit; Whereas you do not know the matter of tomorrow, what your life will be; for you are a vapor, which appears for a little while and then disappears. Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will both live and do this or that.


This morning I woke up and decided to open my bible for the first time in weeks. I'm ashamed to admit that, but it is the truth. Priorities get messed up and out of order which causes our spirits to suffer. Right now I'm struggling with choosing the right career path and feeling confident in that choice. I know that God has a plan for me, but I often question whether or not I will ever discover it. But then it dawned on me. Maybe I'm already living his plan, living in his will. I need to commit to getting into his word every day and asking God to take me where he wants me to go each day.

Prayer for today...
Lord Jesus, please take my thoughts and dreams and weave them together according to your plan. Force the devil to flee from me and stop attacking me with negative self-beliefs. Give me peace and joy in knowing that whatever each day brings is according to your will.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
