Defining Moment

I had an experience a short time ago that God showed me he is in control of my life.  My eyes were opened to see his power and grace all in one instance.  God showed me that he still has a plan for my life.  I believe we all have had those moments before.  When you look closely at your life, you can find many instances like the one I had.  These moments can happen in a split second or they can last over a period of time.

God gives us these moments to remind us he is in control and our work for him is not done.  Sometimes it can be terrifying, but if that is what it takes to open our eyes to God, then that is what he will do.

God is with us every step of the way.  He has a plan for each and every one of us.  We must have faith and truely believe in him to see that he is with us. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

To keep your faith strong, you have to trust in the Lord and know that his way is better than our own way. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path.”  Hold onto your faith with both hands and God will keep your eyes opened toward him, and his plan for us.

Leaving Home

Oh Lord, as I start this day, I will leave everything I know behind.  I am leaving my family, friends, and my home to start on this journey so far away.  How hard this is to leave evrything behind.  I will be an outsider, all alone in a foreign land.

I know you have placed me on this journey for a reason and it isn’t my place to question your plan.  I do find comfort in knowing you are beside me holding my hand.  Lead me and show me your way.

Be with me every step of the way, and open my heart and mind to hear your words.  Be with my family, for I love them dearly.  Watch over them and let them know you are with me.  My life is in your hands and let your will be done.  Guide me, lead me and show me your way.

Amen.
