Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
Weddings can be a big deal. They are a big deal. Even small, intimate ceremonies can get contentious. Everyone comes out of the woodwork with opinions. This is not to say that's a bad thing, but for the bride and groom...it is after all their affair...it can be a bit overwhelming. Add in the pricetag of even a courthouse ceremony with backyard BBQ, and you've got yourself a little bit of stress. This is no way to start a life together, nor is it something you want to burden your relatives with. Add in daily life and it's no wonder we can get so easily stressed.
Lately God has provided me with numerous reminders to not worry and take everything to him in prayer. From my daily verse, to postings by friends on social mefia, to the sign at the church. Good vibes only...as a song says. If I were to lean on my own understanding of all the things on my life I probably would mess it up somewhere along the way. God sends us people, verses, sayings, postings, etc to speak to us. We need to listen and obey.
So I'm obeying. I'm praying over my daughter's upcoming wedding, not just to bless their marriage, but to seek God's help in the decisions to be made prior to. I know he cares and I know he listens when we ask.
