Reposted from @wellwateredwomen God, we begin this year knowing that we are not in control. We’ve made our plans, dreamed our dreams, and written our resolutions, but only you know what tomorrow holds. We don’t want to waste this year, but we know this is only possible through your work within our hearts. We know that hard times will come and that we will encounter the unexpected. We know there will be moments we want to give up, complain, compare, and doubt. We know that we will inevitably fail, fall short, and falter. But we know that you are greater than our inconsistencies, and you are able to move for your glory through our willingness. We want YOU, God, more than anything this year. We give up that which is vain and empty. We want to stop chasing after the wind. Instead, we chase Jesus, because we know that when we chase after you, we find you. We begin this year in the most necessary position: on our knees, because when we get down low, we can see you most clearly. Oh, God, words cannot even begin to describe our need for you, so we leave it here with this simple cry: We need you. We love you. Be glorified in and through and all around us. Amen. -Gretchen (@gretchensaffles), Founder #wellwateredwomen #PostItNotePrayers #newyearsameGod https://www.instagram.com/p/CYG-k9MKc9N/?utm_medium=tumblr
