Two months into my
senior year of college, I am having some serious flashbacks to how
I felt my senior year
of high school. The future seems so demanding and I can’t even
think about what I am
going to eat for lunch tomorrow without getting stressed. I
immediately turn to
calendars and planning out each day down to the minute to try and
find some sort of
stability in a phase of such uncertainty.
In some of the more
anxiety-filled moments, I love listening to the song “Captain” by
Hillsong United. Part
of the chorus says:
“Like the stars Your
Word will align my voyage,
And remind me where
I’ve been and where I am going
Lost in the shallows
amidst fear and fog,
Your truth is the
compass that points me back north”
These lyrics remind
us that the Lord has a plan for our future even when all we see in
front of us is fog
and confusion. The song echos Proverbs 3:5-6 promising that God can
be trusted even when
we can’t make sense of the situation. As an added bonus, He directs
us through the future
as we remain focused on Him.
I wish I could tell
you exactly what next year holds for you and what your life will look
like in 5 years, but
there is so much beauty found in taking each day boldly, trusting that
your future will work
out just fine- not because of incessant planning, but because you
are the daughter of a Father who delights in laying
the path before you.
