I commute to graduate school about 40 miles each way, so I do a lot of driving. I've noticed that whenever I merge onto the highway from an off-ramp, I always pray "Please let there be a place for me, Lord." Of course what I mean is a spot for my car, but lately I've been thinking about another meaning. This is becoming my prayer for my life. I want for there to be a place for me in His design. I want to do His work, and fulfill His plans for my life. I am very much a type A person: I like things to be structured, organized, and pre-planned. Over the last couple of years God has really been dealing with me in that manner. He has led me down a path where there is much uncertainty and no way to plan the future. Because of this, I have to had lean fully on Him for provision and protection. Of course, He provides, and His way is so much better than anything I could've come up with. I never would have imagined I'd be where I am at today. Thank you, Lord, for it is only through You that I can accomplish anything!!! I encourage all of you to let go of the fear- whatever it may be in your life- and let God take control.
"He said to his disciples, 'Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?' They were terrified and asked each other 'Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!'"
Mark 4:40-41 NIV
