Starting Scripture (KJV)
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Devotion: My Story Is in God’s Hands
There’s something sacred about a blank page. It holds possibility, mystery, and the quiet thrill of what could be. And when we say, “My story is in God’s hands,” we’re not handing Him a finished manuscript—we’re offering the pen. We’re saying, “Write what You will God. I trust Your plan.”
God doesn’t write in straight lines. He writes in spirals and seasons. He scribbles grace in the margins and doodles mercy over mistakes. His handwriting is holy, even when it’s hard to read. And the chapters we’d rather skip? He turns them into footnotes of faith.
Sometimes we want to snatch the pen back. We think we know the ending. We try to edit the pain, rewrite the waiting, or delete the detours. But God is the Author who sees the whole arc. He knows that the valley is where the character grows, and the silence is where the soul learns to sing.
Your story isn’t just being written—it’s being held. Held in hands that shaped galaxies, calmed storms, and cradled crosses. Hands that never drop what they love. Hands that turn ashes into beauty and brokenness into blessing. You are not a rough draft. You are a masterpiece in motion.
And here’s the sweetest part: God doesn’t just write your story—He reads it with delight. He lingers over the lines of your laughter, bookmarks your bravery, and rereads your prayers like poetry. You are His favorite narrative, not because you’re perfect, but because you’re His.
So today, let go of the pen. Let Him write. Let Him surprise you. Let Him fill the pages with you never imagined and endings that echo eternity. Your story is not stuck. It’s sacred. And the Author is still writing.
Because when your story is in God’s hands, every chapter—yes, even this one—is part of something glorious.
💡 Tip of the Day
Write a short note to yourself: “This chapter matters.” Tape it to your mirror or tuck it in your Bible. Let it remind you that God is still writing. Walk in His will, put your trust in Him.

Lord, I place my story in Your hands. Not just the polished pages, but the messy ones too. Write with grace, edit with mercy, and fill every line with Your love. Help me trust the chapters I don’t understand, and rejoice in the ones You’ve already redeemed. May my life be a living letter of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
