"Go-To"

 Sunday, April 26, 2026 (6:29 a.m.)

Blessed God,

Thank You.

I said it to You much earlier. When I realized that I had been praying to You in the middle of a frightening dream. Thank You that You were my immediate “go-to.”

(6:51 a.m.)

Mm, yes. Blessed Father, I want to know more about trusting You as my absolute, first and foremost “Go-To” overall.

Thank You that there is much written about the importance of turning to You first!

(7:58 a.m.)

Oh most dear and and blessed God and Father! Thank You for this time to sit and explore with You. Thank You for the privilege of being honest with my heart.

Yes. My heart that often whines to You. Of so many things. Most recently? My tiring of being the grown-up. Thank You that there’s much written about this as well.

(8:09 a.m.)

Reading “Choose Trust Over Worry: Recognize that worry is a sign of relying on your own understanding; actively choose to trust God in difficult circumstances” helped me recognize another of my own physical “tells” when dealing with fearful thoughts. That immediate weight of dread in the pit of my stomach.

I experienced it right before bed last night. Deciding to wait to deal with potentially upsetting information, I held off until this morning to look into it any further.

Father, thank You for the quickening of my heart. The tension in my neck and shoulders. That balled up internal weight that lets me know something needs attention.

Growing up with the frequently asked question of “What’s wrong with you now?” I truly thought something was always intrinsically defective with me. You are teaching me to believe differently.

I’m asking (Matthew 7:7) You to continue Your work in, with, by, through and for me Lord. I love, need, trust and want Your guidance in all that I think, say, do and feel. Be my eternal, everlasting, first and foremost “Go-To” over ALL! 

Thank You. Praise You. Use me as You alone know is best. Amen.
