When Things Don't Go as Planned
Adapted from Strength for Each Day
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
We want things to work out in our lives in certain ways, but experience teaches us that we don’t always get what we want. We have a plan for the day, and suddenly something unexpected and unwanted happens—and our plan must change. At times like this, we can choose to trust God or to be upset.
Since being upset won’t change anything, why waste time doing it? Choose to trust that God can work out the change for your good and do something even better than what you had planned. Ask Him for anything you want to ask Him for but trust Him to give you what is best.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for directing my life according to Your plan, not mine. In Jesus’ name, amen.
