There was a time I told God what I needed from Him in long written pages of prayer. I have a notebook filled with instructions I gave to The Creator of the Universe.
Later I learned that The Creator of the Universe knows exactly what He is doing, even when it comes to me. He knows the very best way for me to go, He knows exactly what He wants for my life, and He knows how to lead me there. I wonder what else I could possibly need.
Whatever God wants for me is my highest good. He loves me like no other. There is no path that compares with the one God has for me. My job is to acknowledge that every day, every moment. It may be rocky or steep or rainy yet it is perfect if He is guiding me through it. The destination will be as well, though rarely what I had expected or aimed for. It is beyond my imagination what God will do in my life if I let Him.
When I used to give my daily orders, I could not be at rest until I saw in my life exactly what I had demanded. Now when I pray and leave the outcome to Him, I can feel peace in that very moment and delight in the curiosity of what blessing He will bring to me.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
