Proverbs 19:21

"People can make all kinds of plans, but only the LORD's plan will happen." NCV

"I know that you can do all things and that no plan of yours can be ruined." Job 42:2 NCV

Lately, I find myself trying so hard to do everything right. I want to say, do, act, think, notice, and understand everything just right. It wasn't until just recently that I realized that I have NOT been LIVING just right. You can try and do everything perfectly and try and master all the areas of life. But, that doesn't necessarily mean the life is going to be perfect. I struggle so much with wanting to do things MY way. Until everything falls apart because I find out that MY way is ALL wrong. I do the things that bring ME happiness, joy and pleasure. Without thinking about my friends, family, loved ones, and even my enemies. I easily forget the reason why I am even on this planet. I can never seem to remember that the ONE that I should live my life for is the only ONE who can really do a good job with my life. I just seem to be WAY TOO SELFISH with the control. I have all these ideas about things in my life. But, GOD is the only ONE with PLANS and REALITIES for my life. I am starting to see that in order to LIVE MY LIFE, I must first GIVE IT UP! I must give it to the Author of Salvation, the Perfecter of Perfection, the Way, the Truth, and the Light, the Prince of Peace, the Healer, the Protector, the God Almighty! He is the only one that I trust to run my life. He knows me better than I know myself. He is the ONLY ONE who can TRULY understand EVERYTHING that I am faced with before it even happens. He is the ONLY ONE who knows the outcome of every situation before they even come to mind. He is the ONLY ONE who loves me with an unfailing love. He is the ONLY ONE with enough knowledge, power, strength, wisdom, patience, love, understand, and mercy that I need to face everyday. He is more than I will every be. So why do I still try to "steer my own ship." He is the ONLY ONE I should rely on to control my life. I need to trust HIM with the "pen" to my life story. I give up trying to do it all by myself. I want help. NO...I NEED HELP! I want to, and need to, give God control. I need to make sure my plans are in sync with God's plans because...
GOD'S PLANS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT FOLLOW THROUGH!

"LORD, HAVE YOUR WAY IN ME!"
