A good place to start is admitting you need God’s help. It’s okay to not be okay—God helps the humble (see 1 Pet.5:5-7). We need to pray, “I love You, Lord, and I appreciate my salvation, but I am a mess! I want the truth in Your Word to set me free from deception, the bondage of sin and pain in my soul. Please help me … open my eyes in any area where I am deceived and teach me Your truth.”
Then we need to commit ourselves to study the Word and grow in our faith in Christ. As we renew our minds according to the Word, we will trust God more completely and believe what He says more than what others say to us, more than our feelings, and more than our circumstances. That’s when we live in His beauty—filled with His love, free from the prison of our past and healed in our soul.
I want to encourage you today to humble yourself before God and take Him at His Word. He loves you more than you can comprehend, and He wants you to be free to walk in His good plans for your life. Take time every day to study His Word, pray and cast your cares on Him because He cares about you and wants what is best for you. When you do, you’ll find that life becomes a beautiful, wonderful, amazing journey!
