Dear Lord, Thank you for the reminders from creation and your Word about how you care for us. As much as I love my garden, this pales compared to how you feel towards us. Thank you for caring about the big and small decisions that weigh us down and threaten to destroy our future. Thank you for cutting away the parts of us that do not serve your purposes for our lives, despite how painful it may feel in the moment. Please continue to pour out your wisdom on the best ways to spend our time and which pathways prove best for our particular situations. Thank you for guiding us to environments where we gain additional strength from structures like a local church or the wise counsel of a therapist, support group, or dear companion. When we feel panicky about what to do, Lord, remind us of how you watch over us and advise without end. Thank you that we can come to you and get the much-needed direction we seek for the many crossroads of our lives. We pray all these things in your name, Jesus, amen.
