"If it were left to our human reasoning, we would preempt the possibilities God has in mind for us. Prayer in Jesus' name, the Cornerstone, cements in us this twofold reminder: We can be certain Christ will finish what He is doing in and for us, and we don't need to be able to figure out how He will eventually get the job done. He may even surprise us!"
Boy, howdy. I SO often feel like I need to "help" Jesus! It's amazing how many times I get in the way of what He is doing and has done!
Lord,
I do NOT want to get in the way of you. I believe you will finish your work. Help me to sit down and be quiet instead of telling you how to do your job: running the world. I give you all the plans I have for today...and for my life. Lord, please demolish anything in my life that isn't to your specifications or that doesn't merit your seal of approval. I want to build upon you, Jesus the Cornerstone, knowing that your surprises are better than my carefully laid plans.
