Message:
The words “I don’t want my plan. I want God’s.” resonate deeply with those who seek to align their lives with a higher purpose. In a world filled with distractions and an abundance of options, it’s easy to become attached to our own desires and ambitions. We often craft plans based on our limited understanding, pursuing paths that promise happiness or success yet may lead us astray from our true calling. Surrendering our plans to God invites His wisdom into our lives, allowing us to step into a realm of divine purpose. God’s plans for us are wrought with intention, goodness, and a love that surpasses our understanding. Trusting in His plan requires faith, patience, and a willingness to let go of control. It challenges us to embrace uncertainty, knowing that in our surrender, we find direction and peace.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging our desire for Your divine guidance in our lives. We often find ourselves holding tightly to our own plans, driven by personal ambitions and desires that sometimes lead us away from the path You have laid out for us. Today, we release those plans into Your hands, seeking instead to understand and embrace Your will. Help us, Lord, to trust in Your wisdom and Your timing, even when we cannot see the way forward. May we remember that Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts and that Your plans are imbued with purpose and love.
As we navigate through the challenges of life, remind us that in our surrender, we find strength. Teach us the art of patience and the power of faith, so that we can await Your direction with open hearts. Equip us with the courage to follow where You lead, even when the journey takes us into unexpected territories. Fill us with peace as we let go of our anxieties and fears, replacing them with a profound trust in Your sovereignty.
Lord, may our lives reflect a commitment to Your plan. Help us to recognize the subtle ways You guide us through circumstances, signs, and the voices of those placed in our lives. Let our choices align with Your desires, shining light into the world around us. We ask for clarity when we feel lost, for strength when we feel weak, and for reassurance when doubts arise.
Thank You, Father, for being a loving guide who knows what we need before we even ask. We place this day and all our tomorrows in Your capable hands, knowing that Your plan, whatever it may be, is far greater than our own. Help us to always say with conviction, “I don’t want my plan. I want God’s.” In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Jackie
