"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
Confused? Discouraged? Angry? Bitter? Frustrated? Distraught? Scared? Overcome with doubt and without purpose or hope? These are among the common responses when OUR plan is not working out. We think we know OUR plan but we don't because OUR plan is only based on our wants and not necessarily based on what will actually happen. Our plan is completely insufficient to God's plan for us. And how do we know what God's plan for us is? Ask. He knows and He isn't trying to keep it a secret from us.
Lord, help me to be bold enough to seek out Your plan over my plan.
