What do you do when you don’t know what to do?
This question has wrapped itself around my mind and heart lately. With a world of options always before us including so many roads to travel down and doors to open, how do you know which one to choose?
Most people would tell you to pray and trust that God will take care of everything. Although you should definitely talk to God I think there’s something much deeper than just “praying” in all of this.
Every single day you’re faced with a number of choices. Some are bigger choices that involve a great deal of thought and energy while most of the smaller choices we make go completely unnoticed as if there was no thought involved at all. With the smaller choices we tend to decide on our own what we’re going to do. We don’t usually ask for God’s opinion or direction even though we should.
When faced with the bigger, more difficult decisions in life we usually find ourselves seeking after the heart of God, hoping He’ll show us exactly what to do. But, do you ever feel that even after praying and seeking God’s will you still don’t know what you’re supposed to do?
So what do you do when you don’t know what to do?
You surrender.
You surrender all.
You give it to God.
You need to come to a place where you’re done trying to figure it all out. You need to come to a place where you’re done trying to figure God out.
He is beyond our comprehension and yet He’s trustworthy and completely faithful. He can be trusted with what we know and what we don’t know and understand.
When I have surrendered to God, realizing that I can’t do this on my own, I can’t figure this all out…I feel free. And I have peace that He will take care of all that concerns me.
God help me to surrender my “I don’t knows” to You because You know! I’m done trying to figure it out on my own. I need you to direct my path. Open the doors that I should enter and close the ones that aren’t meant to be opened. I surrender to You and trust that You will work ALL things together for good. Amen.
