Many bible verses refer to doing and praying God’s will. We are given these instructions to guide us. Recently, I was reminded of this as I was praying for direction in a hard situation. The verses below really resonated with me and I pray they minister to each of you that may be in a hard spot and crying out to God.

Lord,
I lay down my will for yours. I lay down my agendas for yours. I lay down my past and future plans for your plans. I lay prostate before you, thanking you for always being there to show the way. It is simply opening your word and praying your will that brings me peace, joy and rest in the middle of life’s storms. Thank you for this gentle reminder. I walk hand in hand with you, rejoicing in who I am and in what I believe. Our wonderful counselor, savior, banner, praise, mighty God and prince of peace.
Amen!
Johanna
