My New Year’s Resolution (#wtsdevo trust)

“Commit your way to the Lord;
  trust in him, and he will act.” Psalm 37:5

Happy New Year!

Personally, 2015 was a whirlwind of a year. I grieved the death of a relative, got married, turned 20, became a vegetarian- the list goes on!  It’s been one of the most chaotic, and incredible years of my life.

It’s also been a year that has tested my faith. Every day, I would have to wake up and make a decision; am I going to trust that God is who He says He is? Am I going to give my entire day, my life, to Him?

Are we friends here? Because I’m going to be honest with you. Sometimes I said no. I would look my choice in the face and say no, God just isn’t big enough to deal with these problems. I’m just too stressed, to exhausted- my heart is just too broken to keep on trusting.

Yet some days, I said yes. Yes Lord, I will trust you. I’m sure you can imagine, but I’ll say it anyway: These days are what made 2015 the best year of my life. On these days, I could just feel the blessing and movement of God in my life.

So here I am, 2016 approaching, and I’m left with one question for myself: Am I going to trust God every day? Am I going to give up my pride and let Him work in my life?

Yes, I am. My New Year’s resolution is one simple thing:

To trust God in all, every day, for the rest of my life.

Friends, let’s hand over what we’ve been holding back, and make this all of our lifetime resolutions.

Prayer:
Father, thank you for bringing me through another year full of your blessings. Thank you for the experiences I’ve had, good and bad, because they have helped make me stronger. God, I want to grow closer to you this year. I want to trust you more, trust you fully- please soften my heart, humble me so that I may always lean on your strength. Please bless this year for everyone. May your will be done in 2016, and forever. Amen.
