Stick With God's Plan

Good Morning!! God has a plan for each of our lives,...a good plan. He wants us to trust in him and his love and to lean into his plans for us. As we make our plans and set our goals day to day, year to year, we need to submit our plans and our desires to him. We need to come to the point where we can follow Jesus' example and honestly say, "we want your will to be done,...not ours."
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."—Matthew 26:39 (NIV)
So much of the time, God's plan is different from ours,...but it's always better. He has the "big picture." He knows how all things will work together for the ultimate good. God loves us unconditionally. We just have to be willing to return His love,...by saying, "Father, we want Your will to be done, not ours."...and mean it.

See what He has done for the lesser creatures,...could He do any less for His children?

Father God, help us not to ever let selfishness or arrogance keep us from submitting to Your plan for our lives. We know You love us, and want what's best for our loved ones, and us. Help us give our desires to You,...and trust You completely. In Jesus' name. Amen.

"If you follow in the footsteps of Jesus, it will be anything but boring,
...you simply can't be in the will of God, and be bored at the same time."
