Tis So Sweet

God can make you anything you want to be, but you have to put everything in his hands.

~~Mahalia Jackson

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

A trust exercise is where you fall backward into someone’s arms. The trust part, of course, is in being willing to believe that the person behind you is going to catch you. It isn’t easy. You look back to make sure the person is actually ready. And even then, you have to turn around, close your eyes, and fall.

God desires that his people make the trust exercise a lifelong discipline. He wants us to throw everything into his hands and trust that he’ll do what’s best. Sometimes we glance back in fear, wondering if he’ll catch us. But instead of giving God a doubtful glance, we can remind ourselves of the ways that he has proven himself trustworthy.

God can do anything with you . . . amazing things that you cannot today imagine. You just need to trust him enough to put everything in his hands.

Prayer for Meditation

Father, I want to put everything in your hands. I trust you.

Scripture for Meditation

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.
