“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this.” Psalm 37:5
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me.” John 14:1
“However, as it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
Before You gave me these scriptures for my 2013, I knew, Lord. I knew that 2013 is going to be a year of learning to trust You far beyond anything I have known so far. This will be a year that, no matter what happens, I will be given the grace to trust You. I will be given the strength, stamina, mercy, peace and grace to walk through this year in Your victory. For the most part, Lord, I can only imagine what 2013 holds for me and the ones I love. The changes that are coming will be both earth-shattering and larger-than-life. They will bring change that I never dreamed would be. In the midst of it all, Lord, You will call me to simply trust You as You do what must be done for Your greatest glory.
So far, Lord, I am somewhat numb to all of this, but I know that You will hold me close, walk with me for every step of the journey, and bring about changes that I could never have imagined in my wildest imagination. It will be a good year, Lord, despite it all, for You are good and You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. That includes me. I feel like You are saying to me “Hang on, Carolyn. The ride will be rough but worth it. We’ll do it together. I’ll never leave you nor forsake you. Walk with Me. I’ll get you through it all”. How can I not follow You, Lord? You will be closer than ever and will bring the victory. Praise You!
