When I was little, my mother would use this anagram to remind us that faith is simply letting go of all our expectations and desires and placing them in God’s hands. Today, more than every I know that we make a choice (every day) to trust that God is who He says He is and that we can trust Him.
It sounds so simple. But it can be the hardest thing to do. It’s not a one-time decision but a daily practice of surrender, choosing to lean not on our own understanding but on His promises. When doubts creep in, as they often do, we can remind ourselves that God is faithful. He is working all things together for our good, even when life feels uncertain.
Faith is a journey, and each step brings us closer to His heart. The more we trust, the more we see His hand guiding us, shaping our path, and leading us toward the fullness of life He desires for us.
So today, I choose again to forsake all my fears, anxieties, and plans. I place them in His capable hands, knowing that He holds my future, and I trust Him completely. Will you do the same?
With Joy,
