for yourself.
So I said to myself, “I agree. I must quit living for myself.”
Rather, I should live “unto him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:15).
(I took the above screenshot of an online version of Daily Light on the Daily Path.)
This morning, as I prayed briefly before reading, I said, “I don’t know what to do.”
I listed several major things I’m still grappling with:
I started reading . . .
Be not far from me; for trouble is near. -Psalm 22:11
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? -Psalm 13:1,2
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. -Psalm 27:9
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. -Psalm 91:15
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. -Psalm 145:18,19
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. -John 14:18
Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. -Matthew 28:20
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. -Psalm 46:1
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. -Psalm 62:1
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. -Psalm 62:5

I can still do that.
No, I’m not any closer to knowing specifically what I should do about some of those big things. But it’s good to be reminded to lean on God.
I want to do that. Better. Always. Consciously. Instinctively.
Oh, and here’s why the post title uses still: I Don’t Know What to Do!
