A Glad and Thankful Heart

   Do you ever wish you had complete control of you future?  It's strange, but, at least in some areas of my life, I'm immensely thankful I don't!  I think about my future, especially in the area of marriage and career choices, and I realize, I really have no idea what I want or quite how to get there.  Yes, of course, I do know what profession I want to go into, and how I want to use it, but I'm not at all sure the best path to get there.  And my husband!  I really don't know what I want.
   So, in light of that, I find such joy and peace in knowing that God has complete control.  He knows just what I want even before I do.  He promises if we delight ourselves in Him, he will give us the desires of our hearts.  What are the desires of my heart?  It's strange - I really don't know.  But God does!  He knows exactly what I want and what I need and when.  It is so comforting to me that I can pray for Him to grant the desires of my heart without even knowing what those are.  He knows me better than I do.  And who better to know me perfectly than an omnipotent, omnipresent, all powerful, and immensely good God? 
   I am so incredibly blessed!
