It boils down to: is God my provider or not?

It's that simple. Whoa.

I mean, duh, but you know those moments when Jesus is illuminating that one specific thing?

Lightbulb.

So, if yes, He IS, then there really is never any reason to fear or get upset. Though obviously we still will. 

But to know, and to realize again- but so much better than before!- that He is THE provider means everything.

We can let go. 

2015, 

I welcome you. Jesus, I trust that you have already cleared the roads and lit the lamps for me to follow as this new calendar year approaches. I believe in You for ALL things, ALL situations. Whatever hardships or joys come my way this year, I will trust you for the outcome. My lot is secure in You. In You I will find my rest, and hope to sustain me. Thank you, Sweet Lord, for your mercies, new every morning. Thank you for joy unspeakable, and laughter. Thank you for every sunset, thank you for new discoveries and old friends and photographs and life itself. Life here and life eternal. 

Jesus, I love you. I repent of every yesterday and yield to you each future moment. I surrender. I believe. I trust. And when I stagger, when my cup is dry and believing is hard... help me, for You are my Helper.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
