“Commit your way to the Lord, and put your hope in Him, and He will do.” — Psalm 36:5

God does not help those who help themselves. He helps those who trust Him and rely on Him. Jonathan Rumi – the actor who played the role of Jesus Christ in the successful television series “The Chosen”, based on the Gospel – realized this in May 2018. Rumi had been living in the city of Los Angeles for eight years and had almost no means of subsistence. Once he only had food left for the day, and no work was expected. So, the actor decided to pour out his heart before God and put his career in His hands. “I literally prayed like, ‘I give up. I give up.'” That same day, he received four checks in the mail, and three months later, he auditioned for the role of Jesus in The Chosen One. Rumi understood that God helps those who trust Him.

Instead of envying “criminals” and worrying about them (Ps. 36:1), the psalmist calls us to leave everything in God’s hands. If we focus our lives on Him, trust in Him, rejoice in Him (vv. 3-4) and surrender all our desires, problems, worries and daily events to Him, God will direct our lives and give us peace (vv. 5-6). As believers in Jesus Christ, it is important to allow Him to determine how our lives should be.

Let’s give everything to God and trust Him! Then He will begin to act and do all that is necessary and best.

What areas of your life are closed to God today? What does giving your life to Him mean to you?

Dear God, please help me to give everything to You to experience Your peace and tranquility.
