These days it is very common to make plans. We plan what we will do the next day, in our week, the work to be delivered, among other tasks. We also make more complex plans about our future, college, work and family.
We plan so much, we establish so many activities, that we forget the main thing: is this God’s plan for our lives?
What Bible ‘s say?
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.“
Proverbs 19:21
The Word tells us that many are the plans in a person’s heart, that is, this attitude is 100% normal. However, we need to remember that the will of the Lord is what prevails. But don’t worry, God’s will is not bad, quite the opposite!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.“
Jeremiah 29:11
See? In this verse The Lord has made it clear to us that his thoughts and plans are good for us.
I would like to invite you to pray about God’s plans for our lives and their impact on our lives.
Remembering that you don’t need 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 my pleasure. Feel free to speak your own way.
Prayer
“Lord my God and Father, we thank You for Your goodness and mercy, that even though we are so flawed, You still hold us and guide us.
We ask the Lord to do His will and carry out Your plans, which we know are much bigger and better than ours. Help us understand this and not get frustrated when it turns out differently than we planned.
We thank You for Your good, perfect, and pleasing will.
We pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen!”
Grace and peace,
Ana.
