Day Six
Confidence
Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.
I am decisive… I mark items off my list with lightning speed… I am confident in my choices… At least I was. What happened? Lately you doubt yourself and others. You end your day and wonder what you really accomplished. You are mentally incapacitated. Uncertain one, come claim your confidence.
Today I Pray for You:
· To hear the One who gently calls, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
· That your uncertainty would melt as God’s confidence pervades your heart
Today You Pray:
Confident God, I crumple at your feet. Restore my mind as I trust Your leadership. I release my heart to You and feel the rushing water of Your strength.
Suddenly I realize I don’t want ‘my’ confidence restored; I desire a shift of confidence. I commit my plans, my future, my day into Your hands. Hold my heart as I hold onto You.
This completely resonates with me today! Yesterday I did a whole lot of nothing, and today DD is sick so I don't see a lot getting done... I always get sort of depressed when that happens, like I didn't accomplish much of anything and so I didn't offer much in the way of contributions to life (if you get that, LOL!). Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI needed that this morning, thank you Shannon. My husband and I are straining our ears to hear God's voice. That yielding and submissive place is dangerous ground!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! God-confidence as opposed to self-confidence. GodI need more of you and your strenghth!:)
ReplyDeleteI love your daily post. This helps me to focus on God as I work. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to know that in some small way I've been able to follow His counsel and been an instrument in His hands...this is the only confidence I need!
ReplyDeletewonderful post. I love that last line. <3
ReplyDeleteJenn, that makes total sense. Isn't it cool when we finally realize our worth isn't in what we do but in Whose we are?
ReplyDeleteBeck, moving closer to the voice of God with you and asking Him to speak clearly to you both.
ReplyDeleteKelli, me too - I need more of Him and less of me!
ReplyDeleteSusan, what a privilege to play even a small role in all you accomplish each day.
ReplyDeleteBecky Jane, the Master does great things through your willing heart...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly. Holding you up to the Father.
ReplyDeleteFor the moments when I feel uncertain of my direction, I can feel confident in where God is leading me. It's so hard not to know where He's leading me, but patiently I wait. Thanks, Shannon, for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteSharon, so often I've longed to see around the corner of God's plan. When I do I miss the blessing right where I am. Waiting with you...
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon~Sooo good. I love the whole paragraph starting with...Confident God...really, really, good!!

ReplyDeleteHi Shannon - you have no idea how much this 30 day prayer walk means to me.
ReplyDeleteGod bless

[very gently] "Give me to drink"
ReplyDelete[a little more firmly] "If thou knewest the gift of God..."
[right on the spot] "Go, call thy husband..."
DARE I think I am one scrap better than that poor dear woman?
Tracy, and you have no idea how much it means that you're taking it with me... :)
ReplyDeletePhil, thanks for your visit and comment. I love it and agree it applies both places... :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love the prayer guides. I often need guidance with my prayers ... sometimes I'm at a loss for words, sometimes too easily distracted. So grateful to have this blog to turn to for help with that. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYour new vB friend,
Ashleigh
