Lent Day 32: I give up Staying out of the Unknown

The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

Isaiah 58:11-12

I give up expecting God to show up in ways that make me comfortable. I give up expecting God to show up in ways that make sense to me. I give up demanding that God show up in a way that aligns with how I want things to go. I give up blocking out how God has chosen to guide me, satisfy me, lead me, grow me, teach me, raise me, be with me. I am grateful for the people God shows up through. I am grateful for the opportunities that are divinely appointed. I am grateful for the guidance into spaces I feel unready to venture into, even though my heart knows it is in the unknown that I will find magic.
