“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Excerpt from the devotion "Don't Settle-Move" in Form Me, Fire Me, Fill Me, page 5

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. —Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NIV)


Settling is not what God desires. If we settle for less, we miss His best… Leaving the safety of our boat, we are called to launch into the depths with Him.
