I'll look to Him who hears me

God has been teaching me to trust Him. I am going through quite a few important choices pertaining to my future and many components of these decisions, I don’t understand. In my confusion, my nature is to take control and figure out the best option.
But I don’t want my best option, I want God’s perfect will. I am learning to cling to God and His promise of hope. It is so easy to fall into the habit of leaning on my own understanding, but whenever I do this, I always end up stressed out. But if I don’t handle it myself, I must allow God to have complete control. I must learn to take rest in the perfect peace of God. His peace passes any understanding of the human mind and heart.


These are the words to a song that has brought me a lot of truth and comfort:

My soul finds rest in God alone, my rock and my salvation
A fortress strong against my foes, and I will not be shaken
Though lips may bless, and hearts may curse,
And lies, like arrows pierce me,
I’ll fix my heart on righteousness;
I’ll look to Him who hears me.

O praise Him, hallelujah,
My Delight and my Reward
Everlasting, never failing;
My Redeemer, my God.

Find rest my soul in God alone, a mid the world’s temptations.
When evil seeks to take a hold, I’ll cling to my salvation.
Though riches come, and riches go,
Don’t set your heart upon them.
The fields of hope in which I sow
Are harvested in heaven.

I’ll set my gaze on God alone, and trust in Him completely.
With ev’ry day pour out my soul; and He will prove His mercy
Though life is but a fleeting breath,
A sigh too deep to measure,
My King has crushed the curse of death
And I am His forever.
