Heavenly Father, help me to stop expecting worldly answers and worldy assurances. Let me rest in silence and hear Your voice. Remind me that You plans and Your ways will always yield the best for me and from me. Let me trust you in all times. Even when I feel weighted down by circumstances. Even …
Lord, I tend to overcomplicate things and over analyze. Even my emotions. Sometimes I feel things that seem opposite – like happy and sad. Excited and nervous.

Heavenly Father, you are the giver of the water of life. You pour your love into our lives, and you set us on a course that you destined for us before we were born. We profess to love you yet we put limits on you. Or we elevate ourselves thinking you cannot possibly accomplish all …
