My plan for 2013

January 1, 2013 by Christine of Worth&Wisdom

Dear God,

With all my heart,
This year
2013
I give to you

Every year
I spend so much time
setting goals
figuring and strategizing
planning and organizing
mapping and preparing

for what?
illusion of control

This year
2013
I want to let go
of my need to control

of knowing
HOW
everything will turn out

of knowing
WHICH
is the “right” way

of knowing
WHERE
my path winds

I want to
let go of knowing
every little thing

This year
2013
I want to rest
and let you
do the figuring
the mapping
planning

And if I let you
You will guide me
and hold my hand
You will lead me
and lift the light
You will carry me
in your arms
You will give me the strength
to let it all go

This year
2013
my only plan
is to have no plan
of my own
and God,
you do all the knowing

God, I give 2013 to you

You wrote my plan, too! Last night I told Him that my only plans were to surrender and obey and follow Him. I love it!

Hi Barbara,

Thank you for sharing this inspirational words!
We’re trained to be control freaks and hearing this is the solution for
all the stress it brings.
Bless you in 2013 sis 🙂
