With your very own hands you formed me; now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you. When they see me waiting, expecting your Word, those who fear you will take heart and be glad. I can see now, God, that your decisions are right; your testing has taught me what’s true and right”. Psalm 119:73-75 (MSG)

What comfort it is to know that there is Someone Who knows us inside and out, understands what makes us tick, and is acquainted with what trips us up, too. God has formed and fashioned us, so nothing about us is a surprise to Him. You can never disappoint Him—nor are you too little or too much! His endless love accepts you completely, all the while rejoicing fully in the true beauty of who you are. 

And because we are fearfully and wonderfully made; because we are unique in a way that He alone understands; He knows exactly what we need every day; all the day through! His wisdom, marvelous and magnificent, is always available. He’ll speak to us clearly, if only we will listen, and wait. He will have the exact right answer for every question we could ask, for He knew those exact questions, before time began.

We can rejoice and be glad for Holy Spirit will lead us, teach, test, and try us, as only a pure and devoted heart can do. And He will do it all with you. No need to try and figure it out on your own today, dear heart, He has already figured it out for you. Just ask. 

Your Beloved is waiting, answer in hand. He sees the beginning from the end, and will always bring you back around to His perfect, matchless, plan!

Prayer:

Dearest Father and Lord, I accept today that You have made me, just exactly how You wanted me to be. The true answer to who I am and all that I am created to do, is found completely and fully, in You!

Forgive me for the ways I have allowed others to define who I am based on their own needs or opinions. Forgive me for following paths I thought would work out, instead of sitting with You; listening and waiting for the perfect path and plans that You had already prepared.

I know, Lord, that You can bring everything back around to exactly how it was meant to be—You can make the crooked places straight and redeem the years of waiting and wandering, bringing me back fully to You!

I am here, Holy Spirit, abiding in You, waiting for Your wisdom so I can follow You all the days through!

Thank You for Your perfect plans—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Your decisions are always right; Your ways are always true. I accept them fully and I trust in You!
