Trust

Dear Lord,

We got some strange news today. We will have to move our trailer from where we live by November! The reason I call it strange news is because it is not necessarily bad news; we have been thinking about and feeling like we might have to move for a few weeks. And, we are very confident that this is part of God's plan for us. We must and we will trust Him!

                                                                                                              Trust is defined as reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. I know that God You are to be trusted as it is defined here - for You have all of these characteristics and You have never failed me or my loved ones and I know You are not going to abandon us or leave us without Your guidance and ever present help.Your Word gives us this promise to hold onto. “But ADONAI- it is He who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you, so don't be afraid or downhearted.” (Deuteronomy 31:8 CJB) Thank You Lord, for this beautiful promise, it tells of how You are always there with me- before and after and it also speaks of keeping my heart free of fear and worry. I know this is important and the key to this is abiding in You, Lord. Worry and Worship cannot abide together so I must choose one; I will worship and seek You for the answers only You have. I will not look for answers in worry, or worldly ways, but in Your Ways. 

Yes, My Ways are not your ways, but if you look to Me I will help you, I will cover you, guide you, make a path for you that will bring My Plans for you to fruition. Yes, you, your family and loved ones. So don’t be downhearted and trust in Me; but also listen when I am trying to guide and speak to you. This new development is not even a surprise to you so, of course, it is absolutely not a surprise to Me. I have a plan an amazing and eternal plan! 

As you go through this next journey don’t forget about other hurting and or displaced people. This is key to not drowning in the mire of your own cares and concerns, remember to cast your cares on Me. (1Peter 5:7)

Thank You Lord, for Your care and concern when it comes to me and my family. Help me to stay focused on You and what You would have me to do as we face this new thing. I know You are willing and You are already steering my heart in other directions than self. As I watch the news and I hear the reports of people losing their large mobile homes as the flood turned raging river carries their home away, I realize I have nothing to complain about because albeit we have to move- we still have a trailer home to move. And for this I am grateful; please prick my heart to stay that way. . .GRATEFUL!
