When I was young, things didn’t always go my way.
Plans unraveled. Hopes slipped through my fingers.
And my mother—gentle, steady—would say,
“Put it in God’s hands. Let His will be done.”
I didn’t understand it then.
But now I see:
If God is for us, who can be against us?
What can separate us from Christ’s love?
Not anguish. Not distress. Not famine or fear.
Not even the sword.
Nothing escapes the notice of God.
Not our tears. Not our trials.
Jesus said, “I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day.”
He walked forward, trusting the Father.
So I ask myself—and I ask you—
If Jesus placed everything in the Father’s hands,
Shouldn’t we do the same?
Let us walk forward.
Today, tomorrow, and the day after.
With trust. With peace.
In God’s hands.
Prayer: In God’s Hands
Lord,
When the path is unclear,
when plans unravel and hopes slip away,
teach us to trust like children.
To open our hands,
to place our hearts in Yours.
You see what we cannot.
You hold what we fear.
If You are for us, who can be against us?
Let nothing—no anguish, no distress—
separate us from Your love.
As Jesus walked forward,
today, tomorrow, and the day after,
so will we.
In Your hands, Lord,
we find peace.
We find purpose.
We find You.
Amen.
