MLB Outfielder on Trust

Focus: 

Trust in God – Knowing that whether it be success or failure, God has an ultimate plan for you.

Print Body: 

It’s hard to comprehend how a major league baseball player is considered successful if he gets a hit only 30% of the time. It is something that can be very frustrating for any player as they are more likely to fail rather than succeed. Jason Lane is in the Florida Marlins organization and has been in the majors since 2002. He says any disappointments are easy to get over since he knows God is on his side. “This is a game of failure and that can be hard on you mentally but it helps me to put it on Him and know that there is a plan for me and something I can learn from it.”

Verse: 

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5 NIV

Action Point: 

Write down what problems are on your mind and pray that God reveal what can be learned from them.
