Oh, how I love to have the reins. I’m a control freak. There, I admit it and I really am trying to release that issue and give it over to God. But, man, is it difficult!
The more scary our world gets, the more uncertainty about our future there is, the more we want to grab the reins and steer things in the direction that we want them to go. And, while hard work, and planning, and vision are all important and wise things, God says that we need to let go of the reins and let him establish our plans.
Proverbs 16:3- Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
“But God, what if I don’t like Your plans?” “What if Your plans are a harder, scary, and fearful path?” “What if I’m wrong and I think it’s You, but it’s me convincing myself?”
These (among others) are all real questions and real fears that I face, as I’m sure you do too.
What I can tell you is that it’s okay to ask God what His plans are for you (Psalm 25:4). Getting on your knees in prayer, I mean really praying with all that you have, will keep you close enough to Him that His plans will develop…many times without you even knowing. James 4:8 says to draw near to God and He will draw near to you!
So, as hard as it is (and I’m speaking to myself here), let go of the reins and give God The “reigns”. Take delight in His plan for your life, it won’t always be easy, but He will be by your side and give you joy in hard times…there is always joy available when we are walking with Him! God, I pray for a broken and willing heart and for wisdom to follow your design for my life!
