How Do I know I'm doing the right thing?

By doing what is in front of me with all that I have. Straight up. Weakness and doubt are destructive to me. Listen. Watch. It's God's job. Thank Him it's not my job. The Bible states: "If you don't work, you don't eat". There is something to hard work. Not hard "works".

We are also told to take no thought for tomorrow. Plan. Be proactive. I can't let my fear or anxiety keep me from planning ahead. Fear paralyzes. Do today what we can do today.

 Lamentations 3:21 states:  The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I do not have control. I need new mercies every morning. I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. This takes faith. This takes trust. I don't trust easily. I know that I need to trust God. "Without faith, it is impossible to please God".

Lord, hold my hand. I need to trust you.
