Day 6 of Prayer Guide - Confidence

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.

  1. 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!

  2. I 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!

  7. Jenn, 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?

  13. For 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.

  14. Sharon, 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...

  21. [very gently] "Give me to drink"

    [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?
