Let God Write the Story

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)

We all love a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. We like to know how things will unfold—when the breakthrough will come, when the answer will show up, when the storm will end.

But faith doesn't come with a script. God doesn't always reveal the whole plan. Instead, He invites us to trust Him—one page at a time.

Maybe your current chapter feels confusing or painful. Maybe it’s a season of waiting, wandering, or wondering. But take heart: God is the Author, and He’s not done writing.

Just because the chapter feels uncertain doesn’t mean the story won’t be beautiful. The same God who turned Joseph’s prison into a palace, Ruth’s loss into legacy, and Jesus’ crucifixion into resurrection is still writing redemption into your life.

Here’s what to do when you don’t understand the story:

✅ Surrender the pen. Let God take control of the narrative.

✅ Stay rooted in His Word. His promises will anchor you through every plot twist.

✅ Don’t rush the process. Some of the most powerful stories take time.

✅ Trust the Author. He already knows the ending—and it’s for your good.

You may not know how this chapter ends, but you know Who holds the pen.

Prayer: Lord, I release my desire to control the story. Even when I don’t understand what You’re doing, I choose to trust that You are good, faithful, and intentional. Write something beautiful with my life—and help me to follow You, one step at a time. In Jesus’ name, amen.
