Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
I’m feeling all types of guilt today. I made a decision to take a mental day off from work. I was tired and getting easily irritated so I took a day. Taking the day is not the problem, not consulting God about it is. Some might think it’s such a small thing, but trusting in God includes every decision and I should have consulted Him first. I should have prayed about it, but I didn’t.
Now I know God forgives me and that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus(Romans 8:1). But this small thing is a reminder that in all things I need to be diligent in leaning not to my own understanding. I need to be submitting to God; acknowledging Him and letting Him direct my paths. I want my plans to align to His. I trust that He will not lead me in the wrong direction.
Lord, in questions both great and small I pray that I trust You first and come to You. I pray that I lean not to my understanding, but in all my ways acknowledge You , letting You direct my paths. Forgive for those times I go it alone. In Jesus name. Amen
Yesss amen I too. 🙏☺️❤️
ReplyDeleteLove this Jennifer. I know the feelings of guilt when taking a mental health day. But more than that, I love your desire to include our Faithful GOD in all of your decisions. It is a good thing for all of us to think about. I don't want to relegate only certain portions of my life to Christ Jesus. I want to be in Him at all times. It is not easy if I think I have to keep myself in that place, but knowing that He holds me there helps a lot. It is what I keep my mind on that makes the difference. Holy Spirit I ask that You be my compass and my reminder. I thank You Jesus that it is You who holds all things together. All I have to do is reach to You, look to You and You are there. I Pray in Your Magnificent Name, Amen 🙏👑
