which way is right?

i don't know about you but i spend a lot of time dreaming big dreams and then trying to decide what dream i'm "allowed" to pursue... if you will. that means i try to discern God's voice in the midst of my noisy life and that's never easy. i try to make sense of verses like this:

"my thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord. "and my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. for just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
isaiah 55:8-9

so today i was reading a book by the late kyle lake and he shared a prayer inspired by the above verses. i thought it was worth sharing. because, for me, it's worth praying.

here it is:

God, i hold fast to You right now for who You are, knowing full well that at this very moment You are not like me and i am not like You. right now, my thoughts are not Your thoughts, my ways are not entirely Your ways, my values are not entirely Your values. but, God, i still cling to You, and i approach my future amid this inevitable conflict of interests between Your ways and Your thoughts and my ways and my thoughts. and when Your ways and Your thoughts conflict with mine, i will strive to be the one who changes.
