This wasn't the plan.

This isn't where you thought you'd be,

But here you are,

Standing in the in-between.

And even though it feels uncertain,

Even though the road ahead is unclear,

You are not lost.

You are on a divine detour.

God,

I come to you today with open hands and a racing heart,

Because I don't understand this path,

But I want to trust it anyway.

I wanted a straight line.

You gave me curves.

I wanted clarity.

You gave me mystery.

I wanted control.

You're teaching me surrender.

And even though my human mind resists,

My soul knows you are not late.

You are not absent.

You are here in the detour,

In the pause,

In the unknown.

Help me trust that this delay is not a denial.

It's preparation.

It's protection.

It's a recalibration of my path,

My pace,

My purpose.

God,

When I start to spiral into what-ifs and whys,

Pull me back to what is.

Right here.

Right now.

This breath.

This moment.

This sacred detour.

Remind me that just because I can't see the next step does not mean it's not there.

You see it.

You've already walked it ahead of me.

Help me let go of my timeline.

Help me loosen my grip on expectations.

Help me make peace with not having all the answers.

I am not behind.

I am not forgotten.

I am being rerouted for reasons that will one day make sense.

I bless the detour.

Even though it feels frustrating.

Even though it sometimes feels lonely.

Even though it stretches my faith.

I bless it because I know you waste nothing.

Every twist.

Every turn.

Every pause is sacred ground.

Every door closed is a redirection towards something better aligned.

Every no is clearing space for a deeper yes.

God,

Give me courage to keep moving forward without a map.

Give me patience to embrace the waiting.

Give me faith to believe that this detour is not a setback.

It's a setup.

I release the need to rush.

I release the urge to force.

I release the fear that I'm missing out because what's meant for me cannot be stolen.

Cannot pass me by.

Cannot be derailed by human detours.

I choose to believe that what's unfolding is bigger than what I imagined.

I choose to believe that even now,

Especially now,

You're working behind the scenes.

Weaving.

Aligning.

Opening.

Shifting.

So today,

I walk with trust.

I breathe with peace.

I move with the knowing that your timing is perfect.

Even when mine feels impatient.

I may not know the way,

But I know the one who leads me.

And that is more than enough.

Amen.
