You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Psalm 21:2
The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will. Proverbs 21:1

Heavenly Father, I praise you for being so kind and gracious to give me my heart’s desire. My desire for a mental, emotional, and spiritual break from the burden and responsibility of being a Lead Pastor. My desire for a new start. My desire for greater influence, impact, and opportunity. You know and have seen the desires of my heart and you have not withheld them from me. I praise your name and magnify you for giving me both what I need and much of what I want at exactly the right time!

Lord I thank you that you hold the heart of the king in your hand. You are sovereign over it all. You can change things on a dime. You can “let things go” for longer than we think is right, but ultimately, nothing is out of your reach or control. In a moment, you can turn the king’s heart to be more in alignment with your will. Any moment. You are strong. You are mighty. Help me to live as if this is true. Help me not to be overly swayed by the “rights” or “wrongs” of the king. Help me not to be overly frustrated or flustered. Help me to trust that every power is under the power of God. I love you Lord and praise you as the all-powerful One! In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
