Give all your worries and cares to God,  for he cares about you. 1 Pet 5:7 (NLT)

One of our greatest challenges as ‘followers' of Jesus is to do just that… follow!

A big chunk of the drive behind ‘following’ is trust.

Have you ever had to follow someone to a destination in a car? If you don't know where you're going, then your only option is to trust the lead car, the person who knows where to go!

God is that to us. But He's more than just the lead car – He knows where we NEED to go, not just where we want to end up.

When a relationship doesn't work out, or you get passed up for that new job, or the door closes on a deal you had your heart set on, don't let worry set in or get stressed out… you're not supposed to do this life in your own strength. Simply TRUST. Trust that God is leading you onto the right path. You're one step closer to that God-ordained relationship, job or deal.

Besides, living in God's will is so much more easy. If you build your own empire and future then you have to maintain it! But if you trust and follow God into His plan for your life, you'll enter a peace that He has everything under control.

Today start letting go of control. Hand your desires over to Him and allow Him to lead you. That's what He does best. It may not be easy to start with but it will bless you in the long run.

You guys are amazing! Thanks for all your kind and encouraging words daily… it means a lot to us! Blessings…
