The next time life takes a turn that follows God’s will—and not necessarily yours—think of this verse and the trust it takes to relinquish your desires for His plan. Letting go of your thoughts and wishes is an act of strength and courage. In a loud and busy world, know you are blessed to be able to hear and follow God’s whispers.
Dear God, when I am having trouble surrendering my will for Yours, guide me to these three powerful words: “Let it be.”
