Trust in the Lord

Life decisions can sometimes get hairy. One wrong decision can send us on a trajectory that is so far off of the path of God’s perfect plan for our lives. We find ourselves in a whirlwind of confusion, doubt and fear. It can seem almost impossible to get back to where we need to be. We wonder if we have totally missed the opportunity for God’s perfect will to be done in our lives.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” When we repent of making decisions without God’s wise counsel, He is faithful to forgive us and start the process of getting us back to His perfect will. Jesus is our Redeemer. He has not only redeemed our souls but He will also redeem the lost time due to our impulsive decisions. We just need to repent and surrender our carnal plans and yearn for His divine plans. We have to want Him more than anything else. If we are double minded, we will remain in confusion, doubt and fear. 

Prayer 

Heavenly Father, forgive me for any impulsive decisions I’ve made that didn’t include Your wise counsel. Lead me on the path of Your perfect plan for my life. Fill me with discernment to recognize Your signs. Thank You Jesus for redeeming any lost time because of my decisions. Your mercies are new every morning.
