I want control. I want clarity. I want it now. But today, I choose faith over sight. I choose trust over control. I choose to believe that what You have promised is better than anything I could force. Give me the strength to release what I am trying to control. Teach me to wait. Teach me to trust. Teach me to walk by faith, not by sight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
