Jesus, You have been asking me to work on realizing that I belong to You, not based on my own choice, but on Yours. You have been asking me to cease from striving to understand this. You have been showing me how all of my failures have originated in pride, and in attempting to do this thing myself, without the intimacy that constitutes the very flow of lifeblood from vine to branch. I need Your help to come into obedience in these areas. Help me to let this mind be in me, which was also in You. Help me to rest in the simplicity of looking for You in each and every moment. Help me to let the other things die, so that I can really learn to live, and so that I can continue in the destiny You’ve laid out for me, before the world began.
