You don't have to live long to find out there will be times in life when you really don't know what you're going to do or how the situation that you're in will ever work out. Often times God brings us to these unpleasant places in life to help us realize how much we really do need Him. He can't always do what He wants to do with our lives if we aren't completely surrendered to Him. Learning to trust in Him is something that we all need to do.

Many are afraid to trust God, because they aren't in control anymore. But what happens when we take up the reigns ourselves? It doesn't take long to learn that we can easily destroy ourselves if we're not careful.

Know that God cares about you and has a plan. A good plan.

Jer 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jer 29:12
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
Jer 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

God truly knows what He is doing! He knew you before you were ever formed in your mother's womb. It doesn't matter if you've been abused, mistreated, or neglected. It doesn't matter if you feel you've already ruined your life. If you will turn to Him, and give Him the pen, He'll write the story of your life and give it a good ending.

Heb 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

He still has a plan for YOU! Trust Him!
