That in spite of my desires, thoughts and plans, God has a better one. That when I pray He answers, even if it isn’t the way I think it should be.
That His plan began before my birth, and doesn’t end for me. That if I just trust and follow He will reveal His plan in my life.
I’m thankful that I don’t have to come up with the plan. I am sure I wouldn’t be good at it.
I’m thankful He has a plan for my husband and children too. That I can rest in that knowledge and trust them to His care. What a load off my shoulders when I trust them to Him.
Jeremiah 29:11 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.12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord..
Psalm 139:13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
Thank you Lord for your good plan!
