“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(NIV)
Do we truly believe God has a plan for our lives? Do we stay out of the way and let His plan unfold? Often we say the words but don’t feel them or mean them, so let’s take a closer look.
“I know the plans I have for you”-Only God knows what plans have been made for us. He doesn’t run the same mold through a machine, but rather lovingly created us uniquely with a purpose at conception. Our life purpose is the design plan God uses for each of us. He knows what we will encounter and puts into us what we need to get through every situation.
“Plans to prosper you”- Our version of prosper isn’t always in line with God’s version. God gives us what we need to make a living to take care of our needs. Sometimes being prosperous isn’t about monetary things; it’s about things that make memories, moments, and ministry.
“Not to harm you”- When the trials of life hit, it’s no surprise to God. He has a built in plan for growth as we navigate through the storm.
“To give you hope and a future”- Our hope and future is our eternal life in heaven; earth isn’t our final destination. This is not going to be a perfect world because it’s not our home. God has prepared a place for us in heaven; we have to let him take the lead in guiding us there.
“Heavenly Father, We are so thankful that You have a plan for our lives. No matter what is going on, You are never changing and neither is Your plan for us. Help us to see when we are trying to lead rather than following.”
For His Glory

“Let go, let God” has always been a problem for me. I always want to fix everything by myself when I should have been letting God take the reins. What a mess I always make.
