Lord,IaskYoutobein charge of my future. I don’t want to dream dreams if You are not in them. I don’t want to make plans that You will not bless. I don’t’ want to work hard trying to har- vest something that will never bear fruit because I did not receive the seed from You. Help me not to waste valuable time get- ting off the path and hav- ing to come back to the same place again. I don’t want to get to the end of my life and regret the time I spent not living for You.
Mark the blameless man and observe the up- right; for the future of that man is peace. PSALM 37:37
Lord, where I have made the mistake of doing what I want and then ex- pecting You to bless it, forgive me. Instead I ask what You want me to do, knowing that when I do Your will, You will bless me. Enable me to hear Your voice and trust Your leading. I want it said of me when I leave this earth and go to be with You, that I walked with God. I want
it said that Your glory was seen in my life. I trust my future to You, knowing You have it safely in Your hands.
Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. ISAIAH 60:1-2
Lord, I surrender my past, present, and future to You now. Help me not to be anxious about my fu- ture but to rest in the knowledge that my future is secure in You. I want to keep one foot in eternity by never letting go of Your hand I want to store up so many treasurers in heaven that heaven will feel familiar the moment I arrive. And when I do take that final step into my eternal future with You, I trust that You will be there for me with all the light I need for that step, too.
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. PROVERBS 23:18 NIV
