Depend on the LORD. Trust in him, and he will help you. (Psalms 37:5, ERV)

trust pray commit (Psalms 37:5)

Whatever it is that presses you into darkness and doubts, go tell the Father; put the whole matter over into His hand, and you will be freed from that dividing, perplexing care, fretting, and fear that the world is full of. When you are either to do or suffer anything, when you are about to embark upon any purpose or business, go tell God of it, and acquaint Him with it; yes, burden Him with it, and you have done for matter of caring; no more care, but quiet, sweet, diligence in your duty, and dependence on Jesus for the carrying of all your matters. Roll your cares, and yourself with them, as one burden, all on our God.

We will always find it impossible to commit our way unto the Lord, unless it is going to be a way that Jesus approves. It is only by faith that any person can commit their way unto the Lord; if there be the slightest doubt in the heart that “our way” is not a good one, faith will refuse to have anything to do with it. This committing of our way to Jesus must be a continuous, not a single act.

It would be unthinkable for me to sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. I will go on teaching you the way that is good and right. (1 Sam 12:23, GW)

However extraordinary and unexpected may seem to be God’s guidance, however near the edge of the cliff Jesus may take you, you are not to snatch the guiding reins out of His hands. Are we willing to have all our ways submitted and committed to God, for Him to pronounce His opinion on them? There is nothing a Christian needs to be more scrutinizing about than about their own personal confirmed habits and views. We are all too likely to take for granted the Divine commendation of them. Why are some Christians so anxious, so fearful? Evidently because they have not left their way with the Lord. They took it to Him, but brought it away with them again.

Pray without ceasing. (1 Thes 5:17, KJV)
