I know it’s almost March and it seems a little late to be talking about my “Word for the Year,” but with recently having a baby the month of January just seemed to get away from me. 🙂
For the past few years, I’ve practiced the exercise of selecting a word for the year. This year, after some thoughtful prayer time, God led me to the word TRUST. I know this is something He wants me to focus on and grow in me. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I tend to worry about tomorrow instead of living within the boundaries of today. I obsess over things that haven’t happened and may never happen, instead of trusting that God’s plans for me are good (Jeremiah 29:11) and that He will open up the way before me as we go (Psalm 32:8).
I want this year to be different. I want to relax and enjoy the journey in His presence. I want to entrust EVERYTHING to Him:
My life
My marriage
My child
My routines
My health
My insecurities
My work
My heart
My money
My time
To commit ourselves to the Lord means to trust in Him, believing that He can care for us better than we can ourselves (Psalm 37:5). It won’t always be easy, but this year I’m working on trusting in God more and giving myself to him fully – for His use and my safekeeping.
Do you have a word for the year? If so, I would love to hear what it is in the comments and how I can be praying for you!
