My mom bought me a devotional book a while back called "Jesus Calling" - it is great because it is a short paragraph or two with some verses that is easy for me to do in the morning...and I love it because it is written as if Jesus is talking to you. The other day, when I called my mom in tears, she reminded me to read the devotional for that day (how did she know that I hadn't yet?!?). I have been reading it and re-reading it since then and wanted to share it with you:
"I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold my hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy - even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting my promises to care for you.
Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in My presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go."
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. ~ Psalm 32:8

My little brother (19 years old) is struggling... actually more then struggling and this just took my thoughts right to him. I might just have to pass this along to him.
