Worry too much, trust too little

YHWH, I am unsure where you want me to go. I know my wants and I know what “makes sense” but I don’t care about either of them. I only care what you desire for me. I know your ways are higher than my ways and I know my heart is the most deceitful of all things and I know that my thoughts are nothing like your thoughts. I can have my mind and my heart arguing in circles forever but I don’t care to hear either of their ideas unless You want me to. I know that I can trust You and You alone. I’m giving you control. My days belong to you. 
I am distracted chasing my own tail. 
I’m unsure of my path. I’m sure of Yours. Well, I’m sure of it’s goodness. I am unsure of its direction or duration. Show me just the next best step. Give me my daily bread. Just enough shade to rest from the heat. You are my provider. You are my life. You are sufficient. More than that. Yet exactly enough at exactly the right time. Not wasting yet abundant. Your paradoxes amaze me. 
I worry too much and trust too little. Give me the strength I need to surrender to You. 
You know all things and I trust that is true. You are truth. Give me the wisdom I need for today. Search me. Teach me. Lead me. 

Amen.

God, I've Messed Up

Lord, I know I could never be perfect. I know I could not earn my salvation. I am saved by your grace and mercy alone. Forgive me, O Lord. You are kind and gracious to forgive You seek justice You have paid for my sins I am forgiven God, I am amazed everyday by your love and grace. How can you still love me? You are everything to me. You love me despite my mistakes. You have forgiven me. You died for me. You love me, so that I might love you. Lord, my heart is yours.
