This next step of prayer that I am discussing today is the surrendering of our plans to God. When we surrender our plans to God, then he will provide for us in his timing in our life. Also, we are to wait on God when seeking his leading in our life.
First, committing our ways and surrendering to God in Psalm 37:5 shows our trust in him. Our ability to surrender helps God see that we trust him and his ways. When we surrender all our plans and desires to God, then he will act upon our behalf through Jesus. Jesus hears our cries and requests when we go to him. Lastly, in 37:4 when we delight in who God is then he will provide for us in his timing.
Second, it is important that we wait patient on God for all things in life. The Psalmist first mentions this important concept in first seven when discussing waiting on God to save the saints from trouble. The Psalmist also mentions waiting on God in verse 34 when discussing waiting on God to inherit the land. This shows us the when we exalt God and wait on him he will provide for us. Overall, this theme of waiting on God shows the importance of waiting on God and he will provide and protect us.
Thirdly, this Psalm shows us that God leads us when we rest in him. When we are abiding in him daily, God leads us in his will and ways. God then gives us the ability to surrender our plans to him. Also, when we abide in God and see his leading in our life, he will protect us. Lastly, when God leads and when we rest in him, God reminds of his law and his ways.
