When peace is missing from the plan

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust the Lord rather than leaning only on your own understanding.

When peace is missing from the plan. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. You do not need omniscience to make a faithful decision. Jesus Christ can direct a surrendered person one step at a time. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
