Learning When To Hold On

 

There are those times, despite my plans,
That my world seems askew.
It’s in such times that I have learned
To give my plans to You.
 
If I hold on to what’s sideways,
I’m bound to lose my grip
On everything that matters most.
I can’t let that much slip.
 
Yet, if I stop holding on tight
And give it all to You,
You always have a better plan.
One worth holding onto.
 
There are no “best laid” plans in life
That don’t come with a flaw.
I do my best, give You the rest,
Then watch with breathless awe.
 
When all my plans go sideways, Lord,
I let go and embrace
The plan that comes from trusting You
And Your consistent grace.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
