Key Verse
Isaiah 45:5 (NLT)
“I am the LORD; there is no other God.”
Chapter Overview
Isaiah 45 continues God's message about Cyrus, the future Persian ruler whom God will use to accomplish His purposes.
God calls Cyrus by name.
He promises to go before him.
He will level obstacles.
Break down gates.
Give him victories.
And He explains why.
God will use Cyrus for the sake of His people Israel.
What's surprising is that Cyrus doesn't know the Lord in the covenant sense Israel does.
Yet God can still use him.
That makes the point unmistakable:
God is sovereign over rulers who don't even recognize His sovereignty.
Cyrus may believe his victories belong entirely to him.
But God knows the larger story.
Then God repeatedly declares:
There is no other God.
He alone is Lord.
He formed light and created darkness.
He is sovereign over history.
He created the earth and everything in it.
Then God challenges anyone who wants to argue with Him.
Can the clay question the Potter?
Can something created accuse its Creator of not knowing what He's doing?
God isn't saying human questions are automatically sinful.
He's confronting human pride—the idea that we understand reality better than the God who created it.
The chapter then returns to the foolishness of idols.
False gods must be carried around.
They cannot save.
But the Lord calls the nations toward Himself.
Then comes one of the greatest invitations in Isaiah:
“Let all the world look to me for salvation!”
God's saving purpose reaches beyond Israel.
The entire earth is called to turn toward Him.
And finally God declares that every knee will bow before Him and every tongue will acknowledge Him.
Isaiah 45 leaves us with a massive picture:
History isn't ultimately moving toward the glory of Persia.
Babylon.
Cyrus.
Or any other earthly ruler.
History is moving toward the glory of God.
God Can Use Unexpected People
Cyrus would probably not have been Israel's first choice for God's instrument.
He wasn't part of Israel.
He wasn't a descendant of David.
He wasn't their prophet.
Yet God says:
I'm going to use him.
That's worth thinking about.
Sometimes God accomplishes His purposes through people we wouldn't have picked.
We may have an idea of what God's answer should look like.
Then He works through someone completely unexpected.
That doesn't mean every action that person takes is God's will.
And it doesn't mean God approves of everything about them.
God's sovereignty over a person's role in history is not the same thing as God's endorsement of that person's character or choices.
But it does mean God isn't restricted to working only through people who recognize Him.
He is God over all.
God Is Bigger Than Politics
Isaiah 45 has something important to say whenever nations and rulers seem overwhelmingly powerful.
Cyrus was powerful.
So was Babylon.
So was Assyria.
But Isaiah keeps showing us:
Empires have expiration dates.
God doesn't.
Every government eventually changes.
Every ruler eventually leaves office or dies.
Every earthly kingdom eventually becomes history.
But God's throne remains.
That should shape how believers think about political power.
Government matters.
Leadership matters.
Justice matters.
Our decisions and responsibilities matter.
But no political leader is Messiah.
No nation is the Kingdom of God.
No government can save humanity from sin.
And no earthly ruler can overthrow God's ultimate purposes.
Christians can care deeply about what happens in the world without treating politics like our Savior.
There already is one.
Jesus.
When God Works Differently Than You Expected
Then we reach the Potter and clay imagery.
And this is where Isaiah 45 gets personal.
Because sometimes our biggest struggle isn't believing that God can do something.
It's accepting how He chooses to do it.
We pray:
“God, please fix this.”
Then we quietly add:
“And here's exactly how You should do it.”
We have a timeline.
A method.
A person.
A door.
A specific outcome.
Then God works differently.
And we think:
“God, this doesn't make sense.”
Sometimes it truly won't make sense from where we're standing.
We see one piece.
God sees the whole picture.
Faith doesn't mean pretending we understand everything.
Faith means trusting the Potter when the clay cannot see what He's forming.
Honest Questions vs. Proud Accusations
We should be careful here.
The Bible doesn't teach us that asking God questions is wrong.
David asked questions.
Habakkuk asked questions.
Jeremiah asked questions.
Job asked questions.
Even Jesus cried out from the cross using the words of Psalm 22.
God can handle our honest questions.
The problem comes when questions become accusations rooted in pride:
“God, You obviously don't know what You're doing.”
There's a difference between:
“Father, I don't understand.”
and:
“Father, I understand better than You.”
One is dependence.
The other is pride.
Sometimes faithful prayer sounds like:
“God, this makes absolutely no sense to me. But I know You are God, and I'm going to keep trusting You.”
The Potter Sees the Finished Work
Imagine wet clay on a wheel.
If the clay could see only what is happening in one moment, the process might feel strange.
Pressed.
Pulled.
Reshaped.
Turned.
But the potter isn't improvising without purpose.
He knows what he's making.
Our lives aren't exactly like pottery in every detail, and we shouldn't use this image to pretend every painful thing is directly caused by God.
We live in a world broken by sin.
People make evil choices.
Pain happens.
But God's sovereignty means none of it places history beyond His ability to redeem and accomplish His purposes.
We may not understand the process.
The Potter does.
See Jesus Here
Near the end of Isaiah 45, God says:
“Let all the world look to me for salvation!”
Then He declares:
Every knee will bow.
Every tongue will swear allegiance.
When we reach Philippians 2, Paul uses this language when speaking about Jesus Christ.
Jesus humbled Himself.
He took the position of a servant.
He went to the cross.
Then God exalted Him.
And Paul says that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.
That's huge.
Isaiah says every knee bows before the Lord.
The New Testament applies that language to Jesus.
Jesus isn't simply another religious teacher.
He is Lord.
The Savior Isaiah tells the nations to look toward is ultimately revealed to us in Christ.
Look to Me and Be Saved
I love how simple God's invitation is.
Look to Me.
Human religion loves making salvation complicated.
Do enough.
Achieve enough.
Prove yourself.
Become worthy.
Fix yourself.
Then maybe God will accept you.
The gospel says:
Look to Jesus.
That doesn't mean faith is a meaningless glance.
Biblical faith is trusting Christ, turning from sin, and following Him.
But salvation begins with recognizing:
I cannot save myself.
The idol cannot save me.
Politics cannot save me.
Money cannot save me.
Morality cannot save me.
My accomplishments cannot erase sin.
I need a Savior.
And God says:
Look to Me.
Character of God
God Is Sovereign
Isaiah 45 reveals a God who isn't surprised by history.
Cyrus doesn't catch Him off guard.
Babylon doesn't catch Him off guard.
Israel's exile doesn't catch Him off guard.
God knows.
God rules.
God acts.
God accomplishes His purposes.
That doesn't mean humans are puppets without responsibility.
Scripture holds both truths together.
People make real choices and are accountable for them.
And God remains sovereign.
We may not fully understand how those truths fit together.
But Isaiah never solves the mystery by making God smaller.
He simply reminds us:
There is no other God.
The Lie vs. The Truth
The Lie
“If I don't understand what God is doing, He must not be doing anything.”
We like visible evidence.
Clear plans.
Obvious progress.
But there are seasons where we see none of those things.
The Truth
My inability to see God's plan does not mean God has lost His plan.
Israel couldn't see Cyrus yet.
God could.
They couldn't see exactly how exile would end.
God already knew the ruler He would use.
Sometimes we're asking:
“God, where is the answer?”
while God is already working through things outside our field of vision.
We should never pretend to know exactly what hidden thing God is doing.
But we can trust:
He is not confused.
Stop Trying to Be God
There's freedom hidden inside God's sovereignty.
If God is God...
Then we don't have to be.
We don't have to know everything.
We don't have to control everybody.
We don't have to predict tomorrow.
We don't have to hold history together.
We don't have to manipulate outcomes.
We can plan wisely.
Work faithfully.
Pray.
Vote responsibly.
Seek justice.
Love people.
Obey Scripture.
And then...
Trust God with the throne.
That's where He belongs.
And that's where we don't.
There Is No Other
Isaiah 45 keeps repeating the same truth because apparently we need to hear it repeatedly:
There is no other God.
Not Cyrus.
Not government.
Not money.
Not success.
Not us.
Not our plans.
Not the idols from yesterday's chapter.
God alone is God.
And when that becomes settled in our hearts, everything else starts finding its proper place.
We can respect leaders without worshiping them.
We can appreciate resources without trusting them as Savior.
We can make plans without believing our plans control tomorrow.
We can ask hard questions without putting God on trial.
And we can face uncertainty knowing history doesn't belong to chaos.
It belongs to God.
The Final Word
Cyrus gets mentioned by name.
He will become incredibly important.
But Cyrus doesn't get the final word.
Babylon doesn't.
Persia doesn't.
Neither does any nation that comes afterward.
Isaiah looks beyond all of them.
One day...
Every knee bows.
That's where history is headed.
And for those who trust Jesus, that truth isn't terrifying.
It's hope.
The King who ultimately reigns is the same Savior who gave Himself for sinners.
So today, whatever seems enormous...
Whatever ruler looks powerful...
Whatever circumstance feels uncontrollable...
Whatever part of God's plan you can't understand...
Remember:
God is still God.
There is no other.
And He has never left His throne.
What It Means Today
It's one thing to say:
“God is in control.”
It's another thing to live like we believe it.
We can say God is sovereign on Sunday and then spend Monday trying to control everything ourselves.
We want to control the outcome.
The timing.
The people involved.
The open doors.
The closed doors.
The answer to the prayer.
And sometimes even the exact way God should answer it.
Isaiah 45 confronts that.
God chose Cyrus.
That probably wasn't the answer Israel would have designed.
Yet God knew exactly what He was doing.
And maybe that's where this chapter meets us today.
Sometimes the hardest part of trusting God isn't believing He can do something.
It's surrendering our opinion about how He should do it.
Faith says:
“God, I have preferences. I have prayers. I have hopes. But You are God, and I am not.”
That's not passive.
That's surrender.
We Love God’s Plan Until It Changes Ours
We say:
“Lord, Your will be done.”
And we mean it.
Until His will interrupts ours.
Until the door we wanted closes.
Until the answer takes longer than expected.
Until somebody else gets the opportunity.
Until the relationship changes.
Until the plan we've been building suddenly doesn't work.
Then surrender gets real.
It's easy to trust God when His plan and ours look exactly the same.
But what happens when they don't?
That's where we discover whether we wanted God's will...
Or simply wanted God to approve ours.
Jesus showed us what surrender looks like perfectly.
Before the cross, He prayed honestly about the suffering ahead.
Yet He submitted Himself to the Father's will.
That's obedience.
We can tell God exactly what we want.
We can ask boldly.
We can pray specifically.
But somewhere inside that prayer should remain:
“Father, I trust Your wisdom more than mine.”
God Doesn’t Need Our Blueprint
Sometimes we hand God a prayer that sounds more like construction instructions.
“God, here's the problem.”
Then:
“Here's who You should use.”
“Here's the door You should open.”
“Here's when it needs to happen.”
“Here's how everybody involved should respond.”
“And here's what the final result should look like.”
Then we call it faith.
But sometimes faith means handing God the blueprint too.
Pray for the healing.
Pray for provision.
Pray for restoration.
Pray for the opportunity.
Pray for direction.
Ask boldly.
But don't confuse faith with controlling the answer.
God may answer exactly how you prayed.
Or His wisdom may lead differently.
Our confidence isn't ultimately in receiving our preferred outcome.
Our confidence is in Him.
When the Answer Looks Wrong
Imagine Israel hearing:
“Cyrus.”
Really?
A Persian king?
That's the plan?
Sometimes God's provision doesn't arrive wearing the clothes we expected.
We can become so attached to our idea of the answer that we reject something simply because it looks different.
That's why discernment matters.
Not everything unexpected is from God.
Not every open door is God's will.
Not every successful person has God's approval.
Everything must still be tested against God's Word.
But Isaiah 45 teaches us not to assume:
“God would never work that way.”
God is not limited by our imagination.
He can use unexpected people.
Unexpected circumstances.
Unexpected timing.
Unexpected paths.
He doesn't need the answer to look familiar before He can use it.
Don’t Confuse “Used by God” With “Approved by God”
Cyrus gives us an important lesson.
God used him.
That doesn't mean Cyrus suddenly became the standard of godly character.
This matters today.
Sometimes people say:
“Look what this person accomplished. God must approve of them.”
That's not necessarily true.
God's sovereignty means He can accomplish His purposes even through flawed people.
Actually, that's good news because every person He uses is flawed.
But Scripture never tells us to evaluate someone's character solely by their success.
Success isn't the same thing as holiness.
Influence isn't the same thing as godliness.
Power isn't proof of God's approval.
Results aren't always proof that every method was right.
We evaluate truth and character according to God's Word.
And we trust God to accomplish His purposes even through a world filled with imperfect people.
Stop Making People Bigger Than God
This applies to politics.
But it goes far beyond politics.
Sometimes we give people too much power in our minds.
We think:
“If this person helps me, everything will work out.”
Or:
“If this person turns against me, everything is ruined.”
Maybe it's a boss.
A customer.
A spouse.
A family member.
A doctor.
A politician.
A business partner.
A ministry leader.
Someone with influence.
People matter.
Their decisions can affect us.
But no human being has ultimate authority over your life.
Isaiah 45 reminds us:
God is still God over the people who appear powerful.
Don't worship someone's ability to open a door.
And don't live terrified of someone's ability to close one.
If God wants you somewhere, He isn't sitting in heaven helpless because another human being said no.
Trust Him.
When God Closes the Door
We love talking about God opening doors.
Closed doors aren't nearly as exciting.
But sometimes a closed door is mercy.
Sometimes it's protection.
Sometimes it's redirection.
Sometimes we may never know why it closed.
And we should be careful about pretending we know God's hidden reasons.
But we can know this:
A closed door doesn't mean God stopped being sovereign.
Sometimes we stand at the door banging on it because we're convinced our future is behind it.
Maybe it is.
And maybe God will open it later.
Or maybe there's another road.
Faith doesn't require us to know which one immediately.
Faith says:
“God, if You want this open, You can open it. If You don't, help me trust You enough to stop trying to kick it down.”
The Potter and the Clay
This is probably one of the hardest parts of Isaiah 45.
Because nobody likes being compared to clay. 😂
We want to be the consultant.
“God, I reviewed Your plan and have several suggestions.”
But God reminds us:
He is the Potter.
We are the clay.
That doesn't mean we're worthless.
Actually, clay in the hands of a skilled potter has purpose.
The point isn't that we don't matter.
The point is that we aren't the Creator.
We don't see what He sees.
We don't know everything He knows.
We don't understand how every piece fits together.
Sometimes we're judging the entire work while we're still sitting halfway through the process.
The Potter sees what we can't.
God Can Handle Your Questions
Trusting the Potter doesn't mean pretending everything makes sense.
Sometimes Christians feel guilty for asking:
“God, why?”
But Scripture is full of people asking that.
There's a healthy way to wrestle with God.
You can say:
“Lord, I'm hurt.”
“I'm confused.”
“I don't understand why You allowed this.”
“I prayed differently.”
“This isn't what I expected.”
God already knows you're thinking it.
Bring it to Him.
The danger isn't honesty.
The danger is when honesty turns into arrogance and we decide:
“Because I don't understand God, God must be wrong.”
We can question without placing ourselves above Him.
Sometimes faith sounds like tears and:
“Lord, I don't understand this at all... but I'm still here.”
That's faith too.
See Jesus Here
Isaiah 45 contains one of those passages that becomes even more incredible when we reach the New Testament.
God declares that every knee will bow before Him.
Then Paul writes about Jesus in Philippians 2.
Jesus humbled Himself.
He became obedient to death.
Even death on a cross.
Then God exalted Him.
And Scripture says every knee will bow at the name of Jesus and every tongue will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Think about what Isaiah has been teaching us.
There is no other God.
Then the New Testament points us toward Jesus.
Jesus isn't one option among many.
He isn't merely one spiritual teacher in a long list.
He is Lord.
And that changes everything.
Every Knee Will Bow
Isaiah 45 gives us a picture of where history is ultimately going.
Not toward endless chaos.
Not toward the permanent reign of human governments.
Not toward the final victory of evil.
Toward God.
Every knee will bow.
That means every kingdom we currently think is powerful is temporary.
Every ruler is temporary.
Every celebrity is temporary.
Every empire is temporary.
Every earthly system is temporary.
Jesus isn't.
One day nobody will wonder who the true King is.
The question isn't ultimately whether Jesus will be acknowledged as Lord.
The question for us is:
Will we willingly bow to Him now?
Salvation Isn’t Found in Yourself
Our culture often tells us:
“Look within yourself.”
Isaiah says:
Look to God.
That's an enormous difference.
Because if salvation depends on finding enough strength inside ourselves, we're in trouble.
We are the ones who need saving.
The answer cannot ultimately be us.
God says:
“Let all the world look to me for salvation!”
And the gospel points us toward Jesus.
Stop looking inward for a Savior.
Look to Christ.
You don't need to discover enough goodness inside yourself to earn God's acceptance.
You need the righteousness and grace of Jesus.
Repent.
Believe.
Follow Him.
Character of God
God Is Not Limited by What We See
One of the most comforting things in Isaiah 45 is that God is working on a scale His people cannot see.
They see captivity.
God sees Cyrus.
They see Babylon.
God sees what comes after Babylon.
They see today's problem.
God sees history.
That doesn't mean we should look at every difficult circumstance and announce:
“I know exactly what God is doing!”
We usually don't.
But we can say:
“God sees more than I do.”
That's enough.
Sometimes trust doesn't require an explanation.
It requires knowing the character of the One you're trusting.
And Isaiah keeps reminding us who He is.
Creator.
Redeemer.
Savior.
Lord.
There is no other.
The Lie vs. The Truth
The Lie
“Everything depends on me getting this right.”
This lie produces enormous pressure.
We start thinking one wrong decision will destroy God's entire plan.
We obsess.
Overthink.
Replay every possibility.
Try to predict every outcome.
And eventually we become paralyzed.
The Truth
I am responsible for obedience. God is responsible for sovereignty.
That doesn't mean our choices don't matter.
They absolutely do.
Seek wisdom.
Pray.
Read Scripture.
Ask godly counsel.
Make the wisest decision you can.
Then trust God.
You are not powerful enough to overthrow His throne by making an imperfect decision.
Walk humbly.
Stay teachable.
And trust Him to lead you.
You Don’t Have to Hold the World Together
Maybe someone needs permission to stop doing this today.
You don't have to hold everything together.
You don't have to solve every problem tonight.
You don't have to know exactly what will happen six months from now.
You don't have to control how everybody feels about you.
You don't have to manipulate every circumstance into the outcome you want.
You don't have to carry tomorrow before tomorrow arrives.
God hasn't asked you to be sovereign.
He's asked you to be faithful.
There's a difference.
Faithfulness asks:
“What does obedience look like today?”
Control asks:
“How do I guarantee tomorrow?”
Do today's obedience.
Let God handle tomorrow.
When You’re Waiting for Your Cyrus
Israel's deliverance involved someone they couldn't yet see.
That's an interesting thought.
Sometimes we're praying for an answer and assuming nothing is happening because nothing around us has changed yet.
But our visibility is limited.
God's isn't.
Again, we shouldn't invent stories about what God is secretly arranging.
We don't know.
But we also don't have to assume silence means inactivity.
God can work beyond what we see.
Maybe the answer is being prepared.
Maybe God is changing something in us first.
Maybe the answer will look completely different from what we're expecting.
Maybe the answer isn't coming on our preferred timeline.
We don't know.
But God does.
And that's enough to keep praying.
Faith Without Knowing How
Maybe one of the strongest prayers we can pray is:
“God, I trust You without knowing how.”
I don't know how You're going to provide.
I don't know how You're going to lead.
I don't know how this situation will resolve.
I don't know why this door closed.
I don't know why the answer hasn't come yet.
I don't know what tomorrow looks like.
But I know You.
That's where faith rests.
Not in understanding the plan.
In knowing the Planner.
Not in controlling the road.
In trusting the One leading us.
Not in having every answer.
In knowing the One who does.
Let God Be God
Maybe that's the invitation of Isaiah 45.
Let God be God.
Stop trying to sit on a throne that was never built for you.
Bring Him your plans.
Bring Him your questions.
Bring Him your preferred outcome.
Bring Him the person you're worried about.
Bring Him the future you cannot see.
And surrender.
That doesn't mean doing nothing.
Do what Scripture tells you to do.
Work.
Pray.
Love.
Serve.
Seek wisdom.
Speak truth.
Pursue justice.
Repent when you're wrong.
Follow Jesus.
Then leave the throne where it belongs.
Because God was God before you understood the situation.
He's God while you're confused about it.
And He'll still be God when you finally see what came next.
There is no other.
Main Takeaway
You are responsible for obedience. God is responsible for sovereignty.
Isaiah 45 reminds us that God can work through people, places, governments, circumstances, and methods we never would have chosen.
Cyrus wasn't Israel's expected answer.
Yet God already knew his name.
Israel couldn't see how the story would unfold.
God could.
That's where faith becomes real.
We don't have to understand everything God is doing before we trust Him.
We don't have to know tomorrow before we obey Him today.
And we don't have to sit on the throne trying to control outcomes God never placed in our hands.
God is God.
We are not.
That isn't bad news.
That's freedom.
We can pray boldly.
Plan wisely.
Work faithfully.
Ask honest questions.
Seek biblical wisdom.
And then surrender the outcome.
The Potter sees what the clay cannot.
And when His methods don't look like ours, we can still say:
“Father, I don't understand this, but I trust You.”
Reflection Questions
Is there an area where I'm asking God to answer my prayer only in the way I've already decided is best?
What am I trying to control right now that actually belongs in God's hands?
Can I honestly pray, “God, I want Your will more than I want my preferred outcome”?
Action Step
Today, write down one situation you've been trying to control.
At the top of the page write:
MY PRAYER
Write honestly what you want God to do.
Be specific.
There's nothing wrong with asking boldly.
Then underneath that write:
MY BLUEPRINT
List the ways you've already decided the answer should happen.
The timing.
The person.
The opportunity.
The outcome.
The door.
Whatever it is.
Now draw a line through the words:
MY BLUEPRINT
And underneath write:
GOD, I TRUST YOUR WISDOM MORE THAN MY METHOD.
Then read Isaiah 45:5–12 slowly.
Afterward, pray:
“Father, this is what I want. But I surrender how, when, and through whom You choose to work. Keep me obedient while I wait.”
Then identify the next thing Scripture clearly calls you to do.
Maybe that's pray.
Work.
Wait.
Forgive.
Tell the truth.
Ask for wisdom.
Make the responsible decision in front of you.
Or simply stop trying to force a door God hasn't opened.
Do today's obedience.
Leave tomorrow's sovereignty with God.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You are God.
There is no other.
You created heaven and earth.
You rule over nations.
You see history from beginning to end.
And You understand every part of my life that I cannot understand.
Forgive me for the times I say I trust You while quietly trying to control everything myself.
I bring You my plans.
My timeline.
My expectations.
My preferred outcomes.
The people I think You should use.
The doors I think You should open.
And the things I think should have happened by now.
I surrender them to You.
Lord, I still have desires.
I still have prayers.
I still have things I deeply hope will happen.
Help me bring those desires honestly without turning them into demands.
Teach me to say:
“Father, this is what I want, but I trust Your wisdom more than mine.”
When Your plan doesn't make sense to me, keep me humble.
When I have questions, help me bring them honestly instead of allowing confusion to become pride.
When I can't see what You're doing, remind me that my inability to see isn't evidence that You've lost control.
You saw Cyrus before Israel did.
You knew the road before Your people could see it.
And You still see beyond what I can see today.
Father, help me stop trying to be sovereign.
I cannot control tomorrow.
I cannot control other people.
I cannot guarantee outcomes.
I cannot hold the world together.
And You never asked me to.
You asked me to trust You.
So help me be faithful with what You've placed in front of me today.
Give me wisdom where decisions are needed.
Courage where obedience is difficult.
Patience where waiting is required.
Humility where I'm wrong.
And peace where the outcome is outside my control.
Thank You for Jesus.
Isaiah declares that every knee will bow before You, and the New Testament shows us that every knee will bow at the name of Jesus.
Jesus is Lord.
Not government.
Not money.
Not success.
Not another person.
Not fear.
Not me.
Jesus.
Thank You that the King who holds all authority is also the Savior who humbled Himself and went to the cross for sinners.
Thank You that He died.
Thank You that He rose again.
Thank You that salvation isn't something I can manufacture.
I look to Jesus.
I trust Him.
I want to follow Him.
Lord, when I'm tempted to panic because the world looks chaotic, remind me that You have not left Your throne.
When a human ruler appears powerful, remind me that every earthly throne is temporary.
When a door closes, remind me that my future isn't trapped behind one door.
When the answer looks different from what I expected, help me remain teachable.
And when I cannot understand Your hands...
remind me of Your heart revealed through Jesus.
You are still God.
There is no other.
And I trust You with what happens next.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
