Monday Mindset: Trusting the Unknown

Life is not certain.

Plans shift, timelines change, things don’t unfold the way we expected or hoped…
It’s understandable we want control.
The truth is… we do not have control.

Transformation happens when we SURRENDER CONTROL, stay present and take one step at a time into the UNKNOWN, with Him. This is where trust and transformation meet.

When we are WILLING TO TRUST Him and transform, we:

— Are open to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.
— Are able to draw strength from Him and grow our resilience muscle
— Are aware and thrilled to live in each present moment
— Are willing and able to become accountable and grateful
— We open ourselves up to opportunities we never would have realized or experienced before

The fear of uncertainty is something to SURRENDER — To use as a tool reminding us to SURRENDER, to get present with Him, and take the next step in His strength, in trust, and willing to transform.

With grateful heart, love and prayers,

Scripture Reflection:

Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Serenity Prayer:

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever.
