July
RELAX AND LET ME LEAD YOU through this day. I have everything
under control: My control. You tend to peer anxiously into the day that is
before you, trying to figure out what to do, and when. Meanwhile, the
phone or the doorbell rings, and you have to reshuffle your plans. All
that planning ties you up in knots and distracts you from Me.
Attentiveness to Me is not only for your quiet time, but for all your time.
As you look to Me, I show you what to do now and next.
Vast quantities of time and energy are wasted in obsessive planning.
When you let Me direct your steps, you are set free to enjoy Me and to
find what I have prepared for you this day.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.
PSALM 32 : 8
Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
PSALM 119 : 35
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
PSALM 143 : 8
