Sometimes we lose sight of the true meaning of laying our helpless, hopeless plans in the hands of the Infinite. We forget that Jesus is the way, truth, and life. 

He is the reader of our dreams, the secret observer of our heart yearnings, the quiet listener when we whisper our deepest desires and hopes, the one that lends a sympathetic ear to our anguished filled prayers. 

We forget that He is the light on our path, guiding, leading, gently orchestrating our life.

When you do not know your next step, When the next minute, hour, day, week, month, and year in the future is unknown - just remember that it does not matter if we do not know.

If Jesus is the one leading you, your future is sure. He will be by your side, and that is a certainty you can rest in.

When you cry out to Him, He's there. When your anguished heart reaches for hope, He touches your soul through circumstances, others on your life journey, and everyday miracles. When you seek guidance, He will provide it. 

Just listen. Many times we cannot hear because we refuse to listen. 

When your dreams are bigger than so-called reality? Just place them completely in the hands of the good shepherd. He will lead your heart and open doors that you imagined were bolted and locked. 

He sees the fallen tear. He has a book of remembrance for each tear that falls.

He knows your deepest longings. A prayer for a loved one who has gone from the truth, a prayer of deliverance from a sin, a deep heart desire for a closer walk with Him - He hears it all.

Zacharius in the New Testament prayed for a child for years, and only when he was aged in years did that prayer become reality. Yet, the prayers of the years of waiting had been heard and in the right time and right place they were fulfilled.

God hears every one of your prayers, if they are done in sincerity and truth. You may be left with what seems to be a waiting time, but fear not if it is God's will in the right moment at the right time it WILL happen. And no power on earth can stop that prayer from being answered when that time comes. 

So have hope. There is a listener to every one of your expressed heart desires. And He just wants you to take it all to Him. Don't hide. He sees what is in your heart before you say it. Lay it all bare. 

Open your heart. And let the peace in knowing that God is in control and knows your future wash over you.

Rest in that. Rest in Christ's love and be blessed beyond measure by it.
