By Faith
Now until forever
Jesus, I surrender
Show me what I don't know
More of You
I'm desperate for Your presence
Longing to be with You
Lead me to a new place
More of You
...
Where I'll go you've been before
And all my trust is in You Lord

“By faith Abraham... obeyed and went even though he did not know where he was going.” - Hebrews 11:8

Lately, I’ve had tunnel vision set on what my future looks like. Lately, I’ve been struggling to simply be still. But lately, I’ve had to realize that tomorrow is not mine to control. My future is huge to me and Ive been constantly stressed out and feeling as if I’m just missing the mark every time.
But.. that’s when I came across Hebrews 11. Hebrews 11 is full of people who “were still living by faith when they died they did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” (Hebrews 11:13) Hebrews is 11 is full of people who had huge plans for themselves, their own future, their tomorrow, but yet they only came as close as seeing them from a distance. But, these people lived by faith and by faith they had a future bigger than planned ahead of them. They had a longing within them only God could fulfill, and I think that goes for all of us. So I decided it’s time to stop the stress, stop micromanaging my life, that it’s time to let go and let god. I realized that I’m not missing the mark at all... that I am who I am for a purpose bigger than I could fathom. I began to realize once again that God is the one thing that brings me inexpressible joy, and to live an inexpressibly joyful life you must live by faith. So that now until forever, Jesus I surrender my tomorrow and all my plans for more of you. I decided that it’s time to obey, to go... even if I don’t know where I’m going- but I know that by faith I will get where I am supposed to be.
Jesus, I surrender
Show me what I don't know
More of You
I'm desperate for Your presence
Longing to be with You
Lead me to a new place
More of You
...
Where I'll go you've been before
And all my trust is in You Lord
