Mark 6:30-56

Jesus,
I'm struggling and I am confused. I've been having a hard time these last few days.
I need to be reminded to listen and be open to what God wants for me. I haven't been doing a very good job of that lately.
He showed me something today, something that spoke out to me.

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.  -Proverbs 19:21

I am doing my best to trust that God wants what is best for me. Help me to keep that in mind and know that He is in control and that whatever happens in the future is exactly what God knows is best for me.
I feel like God is mad at me right now though.. Or like I'm making a mistake by being hopeful or like I'm being stupid. Those are the things I'm telling myself right now..
Help me to relax and feel okay with where I'm at.

Today I read more about your compassion. That even when you wanted to rest and be alone you saw how the people needed you and you taught them and you guided them and you lead them.

34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.  -Mark 6:34

I am lost. And I need you to guide me. Please teach me your ways.

I love you.

Amen.
