I left the pastor's office in tears. A place that had represented hope and encouragement was, at that moment, a place of tremendous pain. A position lost. Our hopes and dreams seemed lost. The future? Unclear and seemingly lost. What was going to happen next? 

"God, what are You doing?!"

You've been there, too. It may not have been your pastor's office, but you have been in that place where everything seemed lost and the future was a dense fog. Comfort was ripped away.  What about God's promise for your life? Did He really have one? How was anything ever going to be right again? 

"What in the world am I supposed to do NOW?"

Those are the moments when YES seems like a bigger risk than ever. You feel like you are taking a step out onto nothing but air. It does seems that way. But I can guarantee you, having taken that step myself, that when you give God your YES at the moment when you least understand, you will find a bridge to the future beneath your feet. It may seem to appear step by step, but it will be there. With every step. With every YES. YES by YES.

Perhaps you are in the fog at this very moment. It's going to be okay. It really is. You can trust God with your future. Go ahead and give Him your YES right now, even though you don't understand at all. Take a step out into air. I promise you there will be something under your feet and you will make it to the other side. I did and you will, too. 

Key thought: Give God your YES when you don't understand.

A Scripture to consider: Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do,  and he will show you which path to take.

A YES challenge: How is God asking you to trust Him even though you don't understand?

Prayer: 

God, this is not the way I hoped things would turn out. This is nothing like I envisioned and I don't have any idea what is going to happen next. What are You doing? Why did You let this happen? What do I do now? In the midst of this confusion,  I choose to trust You with my questions. Whatever happens I believe that somehow You are going to work it out for good in my life. I am Yours. Amen.
