September 18 – Evening

Read

Then David said to Gad, ‘I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.’

(2 Samuel 24:14)

Pray

Dear God,

You are the sovereign ruler of all and in control of every aspect of my life. Just as King David acknowledged in this verse, I understand that it is ultimately Your will that prevails in all things. Help me to trust in Your perfect timing and wisdom, even when things may not go according to my plans. Give me the strength to surrender my own desires and submit to Your will, knowing that You work all things for the good of those who love You.

I pray for the grace to accept Your will in every situation, and the faith to believe that You are always working for my ultimate good. Like King David, I acknowledge that Your ways are higher than my ways and Your thoughts higher than my thoughts. Help me to lean not on my own understanding, but to trust in Your perfect plan for my life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
