Women’s Devotional – Day 21
Throughout my life, I have always seemed like I don’t have a purpose or that what I am doing isn’t enough. Even when I did feel like I knew who I was or what I was doing, I still felt like I wasn’t good enough.
My imposter syndrome really got to me as I started taking harder classes throughout high school, and started looking at my peers like they were better than me. Because of this I truly got insecure about my academics and let that mindset get to me.
As I continued throughout high school and into apply to colleges, as well as growing in my faith, I truly understood the meaning of trusting God’s plan.
Whether that be people entering and leaving my life, or getting into schools I had never thought about dreaming of, I knew that God was in control and has plans for me. This mindset took a lot of prayer and practice to get where I am today and I still struggle with letting go of my expectations and plans for my future.
A verse that truly sticks with me today is this:
Proverbs 16:9
“In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the lord establishes their steps”.
Just the thought of God already knowing where I am going to end up and what path I am on allows me to be at ease and to enjoy everyday!
This is also reminded of us in this verse:
Proverbs 16:3
“Commit to the lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans”.
We might think we know what the future comes, but that is up to God and his plan to decide!
The only thing we can do is pray that we let go and let God do the work!
Guided Prayer
Lord, help me to let go of my fear and anxious heart. Allow me to fully trust your plan, and let me have the peace knowing that you are constantly working in my life, no matter the circumstance. Give me the strength to fulfill your plans for me. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen
