Help me step out of my comfortable routine into blessings unseen

Letting go of our grip on predictable results and trust God with our heart offering is one of the most challenging choices we make.

~~Carol Kent

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.

Our days can become routine if we let them. The alarm clock squawks loudly, we make coffee, get dressed, and go through the motions . . . again and again. Maybe it’s boring but at least it’s safe. We like the predictability of our mundane days.

But God just might have something better. What if we let go of our grip, set aside our desire for control over every portion of our lives, and let God take the wheel? Can we trust him with our heart offering—that which is nearest and dearest? Are we willing to open ourselves up to God’s unexpected blessings?

By stepping out of our worn path and trying something new, we risk stumbling and falling flat. But as we ask the Lord where he’d have us go—stretching out an open hand to let him lead us into new territory—we will find his surprises.

It’s a challenging choice. Can you trust God that much? Will you?
