Reading: Jeremiah 17:9-10, Psalms 55:22
Devotional: Our hearts can be deceptive, leading us astray if we rely solely on our feelings or cultural norms to guide us. Today's reading reminds us of the importance of surrendering to God's will rather than our own. The Psalmist encourages us to give our burdens to the Lord, trusting that He will take care of us.
Reflect on areas of your life where you might be holding onto control rather than surrendering to God. What burdens are you carrying that you need to give to Him? Practice with a prayer of surrender, asking God to shape you according to His will. Remember, true freedom comes not from asserting our own way, but from aligning ourselves with God's perfect plan.
Practical Steps:
1. Identify a specific burden or concern you’ve been carrying and pray Psalms 55:22 over it, releasing it to God.
2. Write a journal entry about an area of your life where you need to let go and trust God’s plan.
3. Begin your day by kneeling or sitting quietly and saying, "I surrender this day to You, Lord," before moving into your routine.
Prayer: Lord, I surrender my heart and plans to You today. Teach me to rely on Your wisdom rather than my own understanding. In Jesus' name, Amen.
