Proverbs 3:5-6 states “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
  
Ella Wheeler Wilcox shared a great poem that encourages us to set our sail in  the direction we want to go in spite of calm or stormy winds:

                    The Winds of Fate
                    One ship drives east and another drives west
                    With the self-same winds that blow;
                    ‘Tis the set of the sails
                    And not the gales
                    That tells them the way to go.
                    Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate
                    As we voyage along through life;
                    ‘Tis the set of the soul
                    That decides its goal
            And not the calm or the strife.

Do not cave in to the winds of circumstances, but trust God day by day!  And we  will see our God-given dreams come true.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings – name them one by one,
 
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings; name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done.

Count your blessings; name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
