It’s my last semester of my undergraduate degree in college. The stress is high; the future is uncertain. There’s so much left to do and seemingly so little time to do it. Everyone is giving me advice, telling me to pursue this path or that: a full-time job or continuing education by getting a Master’s degree. In the midst of that, I have exams, homework, group projects, job interviews, and projects to deal with at my internship. There are constant pressures placed on me from both those around me and from within myself. I want to succeed. I want to choose the right path. But what is it?
God tells me in His still small voice to just surrender. Surrender my worries, doubts, and fears. Surrender my need for control, my need to know what the future holds. I was brought to tears this morning at church during worship because I felt the Holy Spirit move in my heart. He revealed to me that I am putting needless pressure on myself. Things will work out. He is in control.
One particular song keeps jumping out at me, reminding me of who God is. The song is Symphony. The lyrics say:
“Even in the madness there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos you are writing a symphony”
He sees my life, He knows what I am going through, and He will find a way to carry me through it all. I just have to trust Him.
