There’s a country song – Jesus Take the Wheel – about a woman praying to God to help her not have an accident but also to change her life around.

What would you do if Jesus suddenly sat down beside you - when you were spending some time in thought and prayer - or in a busy atmosphere where there was a lot going on.

Jesus sits down and says: “I love you and want to take care of you. I will grant you one wish – you can have anything in the world. No strings attached.”

Wow – what would you do?

Think about this – anything in the world you wanted. Write it down if you want

Have you thought of what you wanted? Now think about the positive things about it.

Now turn it around and think about the negatives?

So let’s go back to your request – remember what you wanted?

Could it be:

• A good job – something that was exciting – using your skills or taking you on another path?

• Would you ask to be able to follow your dream?

• How about a house?

• Probably most would want wealth – money so that they would never have to worry about a job or providing for their families.

• Maybe a few would ask for world peace – that all would live together in harmony.

• Some would want a great relationship or a wonderful spouse or close friends.

• Those who are ill would want to be healthy again.

• How about a lifetime of good health – never having to worry about a life-threatening situation

• A way to ease world hunger so no one would have to go to bed hungry.

• Good strong leaders – who would live good lives, be honest and rule with a positive and caring attitude.

• Freedom from worry.

What would I ask from Jesus?

My wish would be that I would have absolute trust in Him - knowing that He will guide me and take care of me. I would ask Jesus to help me turn over my life to Him.

Because guess what – if I have absolute trust in Jesus as my Lord and Savior – no faltering – no wavering I never have to worry again.

He knows what I need and want before I do. God has told us all that He will take care of us.

That is my wish – it is very hard to do – to turn everything over to Him for as Psalm 23 says: “the Lord is my shepherd – there is nothing I shall want.”

Whenever I am tempted to try to tell God what I need and when I need it – I stop and remember that song that keeps going through my brain: Jesus take the wheel.

Ask God - Trust God - Expect His Blessings
