The Here and Now

Something I've been learning recently is to trust God.
Normally me trusting God goes something like this:
"Hey God, I trust you, but could you just show me who I'm going to marry?"
or "Hey God, I trust you, but could you just show me where I'm going to live in a couple years?"
or "Hey God, I trust you, but could you just give me a picture of my future?"
In reality, these thoughts show the depth of my mistrust.
Not only would any of those prayers being answered distract me from my purpose,
but it would keep me from doing God's will for me in this very moment.
Instead of asking God what His purpose for my whole life is, or for my future,
I should instead be asking God what He wants me to be doing right now.
I should be asking God what His purpose is for me in this moment.
In this hour. In this day.
Tomorrow will worry about itself.
I shouldn't be wasting days waiting for the next day, or the weekend,
or living for the next time I get to see my family.
I should be living each moment as the blessing it is.
Fulfilling my purpose on earth, by seeking God's mission for me in each hour,
with each breath, with each step I take.
I should constantly be communing with God, so that I don't stray far off the path.
Maybe I'll take one wrong step, but if I'm constantly talking to God about it -
He'll redirect me, so it doesn't become many steps off course.
From now on I'll be praying, with each breath, that God would use me for His purpose.
That I would fulfill the mission that He has for my every hour,
and be living a life that's in sync with the desires of God's heart.
