Handing Him the Keys

We are never alone in the waiting. We are not designed to be self-sufficient, lifting ourselves out by our own strength. Our security, our peace, our sufficiency can only be found in one, singular place- in God Himself.

We have the Holy Spirit as our helper, placed inside us to confidently face whatever today brings. As we wait on answers, on progress, healing, and wisdom for our next, best step, we must acknowledge our need for Him. Nothing can be accomplished by our own strength. In His mercy, he looks after us in His loving kindness and compassion. We are impatient, want answers and immediate relief from our pain. But, I don’t think we know what to do to move us forward because he’s not ready for us to know that yet. It’s agonizing to wait patiently on answers and direction. But, it’s in the muddy ditch that we are being refined and reworked to the very best version of ourselves, if only we let Him take control of it. Are you ready to be healed?

So in this moment of frustration, weakness, anxiety we have got to surrender and acknowledge His presence and our need for Him- His strength, His leadership, His guidance, His peace. We must invite God to take the wheel in every corner of our lives. We must fully surrender to Him, handing him the keys to our hopes and dreams, our finances, our health, our heart – all the deep dark recesses and stresses. Hand Him the insecurities, the pain, and the sin that drove us off-road to begin with, whether it was our own or someone else has ownership of it.

Let God be the fuel that propels us forward, the jack that lifts us up and repairs our brokenness. Let him put air in our confidence and strength when we are running low, feeling deflated. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I keep hearing him say, Just. Trust. Me.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.“ Psalms 119:105

God, I welcome you to take control of every part of my life. I acknowledge you as Lord of my life, as well as my deepest need for you and your presence in my life. I have turned over the wheel to you, to steer me in the direction I need to go. I ask you to pour out your words of comfort, healing, and wisdom into every crevice of my life. Make your will clearly defined for me, lighting my path along the way. Give me the strength, courage, and confidence I need to face each day, making choices that honor you. In Jesus Name, Amen
