Psalm 86:11
11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.
Who is in charge of you? Who gets to decide what you do with your life? If the answer is you, take a minute to ask how that’s working out. Most people make their own life decisions, and as a result are drowning in anxiety and pride. If you think that’s an overstatement, take a break for a week or two from all the things that distract you from anxiety and fear. Eat only your caloric need, turn off the tv, and unplug from social media. See what rises to the surface.
When you’re done with that experiment, plead with God to lead your life. The Psalmist did. He asked that God would teach him the path. Then, very perceptively, he asked for God to bring his whole heart together around that one desire, for God to be in charge. Let’s pray the same way.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I want to live Your way, not mine. Please, unite my heart behind that one desire.
