Proverbs 16:4

The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
even the wicked for a day of disaster. - Proverbs 16:4

Dear Heavenly Father,

Because I know you're working out everything to its proper end, I don't need to get too caught up trying to understand the details of my life. I can spend my energy being the best me you want me to be. As you unfold each new situation, I can focus on listening to your words like a player heeds a coach in the heat of a game. Help me to hear your voice over the crowd and even over my own repeating fears and desires. I want to get it right in life, not just try to make life right for me. It's so comforting to know that when I stroll heaven with you, I will be able to comprehend the magnificent way you worked out all of our lives together. Today is awesome and holy because you have redeemed it from the whims of us mortals.

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

Stop trying to make life turn out right and just work on being the best you right where you are.
