Scripture

Jeremiah 1:1-19 (EBST*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” I have a plan for you. Do not be afraid to follow My plan. I will protect you.

What I said to God

I stand in awe of You. You have all of life figured out. How often have I complained about others trying to reinvent the wheel? Yet every day I waste so much time trying to figure out what you already have planned. Help me to trust You more, to surrender to Your plan and follow it whole-heartedly.
