Trusting God to Write Your Story

When you think about your life story, do you dream big and plan every detail? You might envision where you want to go and start writing the chapters yourself. But as time passes, life rarely follows the script you imagined. Frustration can creep in when plans fall apart, or progress feels slow. In these moments you might wonder if God truly sees the desires of your heart.

Here’s the truth: God isn’t just watching your story unfold—He’s writing it with a love and wisdom far greater than your own, protecting and teaching you through every step.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

– Psalm 37:23-24 NKJV

Pursuing your dreams is exactly what God wants you to do. God placed those desires in your heart for a reason. But when your plans feel out of reach, it’s an invitation to surrender and trust Him to guide you and create your directional map. Proverbs 16:9 tells us that while we may plan our way, the Lord establishes our steps. This doesn’t mean giving up on your dreams or becoming apathetic and staying in a moment of waiting; it means placing your dreams into the Lord’s hands, knowing He has the ultimate blueprint. He sees the big picture, crafting every detail for your good and His glory.

Surrendering to God means allowing Him to refine and expand your dreams.

God’s plan for those who choose His Son as Lord and Savior is to give them a future filled with hope. When you step back and let Him shape your story, you’ll see His fingerprints in every chapter. Doors that you didn’t know existed will open, and challenges will become opportunities for growth. Trusting God to write your story doesn’t mean sitting back and doing nothing. It means you’re actively walking with Him, allowing His Spirit to guide your decisions, dreams, and direction.

As you pursue the dreams He’s given you, hold them with open hands. Trust that God knows your deepest desires and has prepared a way forward that brings glory to Him and joy to you.
