It is a fact that we love to plan for the future, I, in particular, for a long time had the habit of looking ahead and thinking “if this happens, I have a plan, if that happens, so do I”.
Many of us have great difficulty letting go of control of our lives, but the Lord invites us to surrender it to Him. In Jeremiah 29:11 it is written, “For I know the plans I have for you” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
The Lord has good plans for us and we have to start handing over the direction of our days to Him, trusting in His Good and Perfect will. I invite you to do that today with me through this prayer.
Remembering that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, because each of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to accompany me, it will be a pleasure. Feel free to speak your own way.
Prayer
“Lord my God and Father, we thank you for this breath of life that you gave us today.
On that day, we would like to hand over control of our lives to You. So often we want to control and guide our own ways, but we know that his plans are good and that the Lord knows what is best for us.
Holy Spirit, bring conviction to our hearts, so that without hesitation we can surrender our days and ways to You. We deliver our dreams, our plans, our expectations, believing that the Lord is the one who always has the best.
Lord, we make this surrender to You and pray in Jesus name,
Amen.”
Grace and peace,
Ana.
