Promises

I'm being reminded recently to trust in the promises that God has given me. I've been prompted by bible study emails, talks at church, off-hand conversations with friends...it's one of those situations where God knows exactly how I'm feeling so he sends a million obvious messages to make me listen to him.

Sometimes the stress of life, and the 'what ifs' of the future can get too loud and drown out God's voice and actually I need to trust that he has a plan for me.

Some promises which he has already made to me are things I'll have to wait for (a husband and a family) and remember that I'm still young and that God will make it happen in the right timings.
Other promises are things that I believe he has said to me but that I don't know when or how that might happen. These are harder because there are so many possibilities for how it might come about and I don't know whether I'm going off of what I want or going from what God wants.

Ultimately God loves me and I need to keep trusting in his plan for my life. I also welcome his continued nudges and prompts because it's easy to let the world distract my focus and any help in keeping my eyes on him is good.

'For I know the plans I have for you' declares the Lord 'plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future' Jeremiah 29:11
