Today is a new day. Another day. Today we wait in willful anticipation of what You will do. Today I choose not to be discouraged by what I do not see. Today I will believe You don't intend to leave us stuck here in the desert, going what feels like backward. Today I ask for forgiveness for fear, anger, distrust, small faith, lack of belief, selfishness and forgetfulness. Today I will know Your timing is perfect, although it is painful. You have a purpose. I am Your daughter. We are Your children. I choose to believe You and call satan and my earthly eyes and those ridiculous little voices liars. Today I surrender my ideas and my will and my ways for Yours. And, this is what You say to me ...
"This is what the Lord says ... "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. BUT blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17: 5-8 (NIV)
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10a
