I will not be afraid…. (devo reflection)

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
I love my life. It’s not perfect, of course, but it has a beautiful cadence and rhythm, which I understand. I’m a planner. I like to be prepared, and I don’t like surprises. None of that is especially bad in and of itself, but with this amazing adventure God is calling the hubs and the oldest to begin, He is gently whispering to me that I need to let go of my plans, my routines, my comfort, and trust Him with my life.
Psalm 56:4 In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid.
I would be lying if I said there was not a lot of fear about this adventure. A friend asked me recently what I was most afraid of, and I thought—EVERYTHING! But that’s not true. What I am most afraid of is the total shattering of my well ordered life. Everything will be new and different, there is no frame of reference, no familiarity. And to someone who loves routine, who loves to know what to expect, that’s terrifying. But I know with every fiber of my being that God’s got me, that He’s got all of us.
Psalm 56:10-11 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise—in God I trust and I am not afraid.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for showing me that my love of the familiar and routine has caused me to rely on myself instead of on You. Thank You for loving me too much to leave me in my comfort zone and for the rock-solid trust that You’ve got us, that You will guide us, that You are in control. I am so tired of being afraid, Lord, and You do not want that for me. Help me to lay my fears at Your feet. Blanket me with Your peace. Guide and guard us all through this amazing adventure. Amen.
Psalm 118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid….
Have a blessed day.
