Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
So for the past couple of days I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping. I’m graduating in about 3 weeks and my mind has been racing. I can’t suppress the feelings much longer and need to face my reality. But I do know that I only have one primary source of strength & hope that I absolutely need right now, and that’s my Jesus.
I’ve gone through life testing out the waters and believing I can do it all on my own but every single time I go running back to my stronghold. College has definitely been a time for testing and opportunities that have not only tested my character but faith. As I look back at the years leading up to this moment, I can’t help but be thankful for a merciful and all-knowing God. Although I don’t know what the future holds for me, I can rest in His sovereignty over my life.
This is a another milestone in my life that I fully dedicate and offer to Him. He’s in control, always has been & always will be. Whatever storm, obstacle, journey, or disappointment I have, I pray that I can rise above it and continue to sing of His faithfulness in everything. I can’t help but stop and think about all His mercies and feel overwhelmed with humility and honor.
So, as I approach this last stretch, I pray that I’d finish strong. Not only academically but finish strong in the Lord. My future is worth nothing without my purpose & direction coming from the Lord.
Lord, I ask that you would calm my heart and my soul & lead me into your presence filled with direction and an overwhelming sense of peace and trust in You Father.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
