I hear Your direction, Lord.
I know the way.
But if I’m honest—it terrifies me.
So I ask again.
Not because You were unclear,
but because my heart needs to catch up with Your truth.
Speak to me there.
You have known my journey from the beginning.
You have carried me this far—
even when I resisted,
even when I kicked and screamed against the very grace that held me.
There are moments when the way forward feels too heavy to accept.
So I stall.
I make excuses.
I search for a gentler path—one that asks less of me.
I distract myself.
I negotiate.
I convince myself that control is wisdom
and that surrender is defeat.
But You remind me—
what is coming will come.
I can arrive holding Your hand in peace,
or collapse into it, shattered and exhausted.
Either way, I will surrender to the will of God.
So if faith is required here,
give me the courage it demands.
Let me stop avoiding what is true.
Let me release the illusion of control.
Let me trust that letting go is not giving up—
it is finally coming home.
Scripture
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make straight your paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5–6
Prayer
Lord, give me courage where fear still speaks.
I place my next step in Your hands.
Amen.
