God Has Big Dreams for You

Life can be completely disappointing sometimes. We think, hope, and pray it’s going to go one way and instead it goes in a totally different direction. There are tears, confusion, and unanswered questions. And suddenly there’s a lack of control because the future is out of our hands. This is where we have to let go. We have to let go of what we thought this season, this year, and this life would look like. This is where trust comes in.

We have to surrender our dreams and our desires and trust in God’s plan, even when it doesn’t look like our own. We have to remember that God is just. He is not going to plan out a life for us that we can’t handle. He loves us. He dreams with us. He is also trustworthy. Let go of the disappointments when the plans you desperately wanted don’t work out, and trust that God has your best interests and your best dreams in mind.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up. (James 4:10 NIV)

Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10 ESV)

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 ESV)

Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for sitting with me in my disappointment. I completely trust You with my future. Help me see where to go next.
