trying to do things that are not part of God's plan for our lives is like trying to force our feet into shoes that are too small, i have been guilty of doing that and i have a nice big bunion on the side of my right foot below my big toe (i know just what you wanted to hear) and it is very painful to walk on. i can't do that anymore, and why i wanted to in the first place is beyond me. now i go for comfort, i guess i've been forced to :)
i want to be comfortable spiritually too. i want to be relaxed in spirit; i want my inner life to be at ease, as though i am walking around in my most comfortable pair of shoes. i want to be relaxed in my relationship with God and to feel at home in His presence. i also want to be comfortable around other people and not be consumed and afraid with the thought of their disapproval. all these things i know that i can enjoy if i learn to follow God's plan and not my own. i am tired of feeling uncomfortable, insecure, and anxious all of the time. i don't want to force my own agenda or strive to do what i want to do. God has awesome plans in store. i just need to daily surrender to His plans and His way...i know in doing so i will find myself at ease.
God, i pray that You would show me Your ways and teach my Your paths. i am asking You to guide me in your faithfulness. You are my salvation, and i am waiting expectantly on You
(adapted from Psalm 25:4,5)
