Heavenly Father, I praise You for today and for the wisdom that comes from Your word. I praise You that the Holy Spirit helps us understand and not only comprehend but apply the wisdom so that our lives continually change in the right direction. Thank you for this leading and prompting.
Your word says: Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:4-7] Holy Spirit, help me to learn to trust and have faith to leave my worries in Your hands. This does not mean that nothing will go wrong or that there will not be consequences for decisions I make daily, but on the bigger picture, I need to keep my mind focused and completely reliant on You. There are plenty of examples of when people tried to do it on their own they suffered failures, but
when they truly relied on You and Your wisdom and trusted You to take the lead in inspiring or directing them, the out come was surprisingly different or at least the person was at peace during the storm. I want that kind of focus and that kind of peace. I don’t want a mind that is divided between what I know to be right and my fear consuming me of everything that is or will be wrong.
I thank my God always concerning the grace of God which was given to me by Christ Jesus, that I am enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in me, so that I come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm me to the end, that I may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom I am called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [1Corinthians 1:4-9]
