Following

following - I’m afraid that if I follow God, he will take me someplace I don’t want to go. What can I do about this fear?

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Psalm 37:4

My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

John 10:10

May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed.

Psalm 20:4

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11

He fills my life with good things.

Psalm 103:5

GOD’S PLANS are always good. His desires for us will always fulfill and satisfy. If our minds and hearts are truly in tune with his will, we won’t be going anywhere we don’t want to go. God will change our hearts and give us peace before he adjusts our future plans. Since God alone knows all things, who can plan your future better than he? Open your heart to God about your fears and desires. Ask him to give you a willing heart to follow him wherever he leads. While this may feel risky, you can be assured that following him will be a great adventure.
