A Prayer for When Plans Change
By: Alisha Headley "There are many plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." - Proverbs 19:21 Have you expected your life to go one way and then something happens that throws you off from your plan? Perhaps it was the career path you thought you were heading toward, yet you have found yourself in something completely different than you first set your heart on. Maybe you thought by the time you were 30-years-old, you would be married with a child on the way. You thought things were supposed to happen according to your plan, but the reality you are living in is nothing of the sort. I've had many detours in my life, the most recent being when I lost my job in a career I loved. It was definitely by God's design in the end, but this was a change of plan I didn't ask for nor was it on my timing. I had to walk through the idea that my plans had changed and remind myself that it's "the Lord's purpose that prevails." The thing is, we need detours and plans to change. It is through the detours God always takes us to where we're supposed to go in the long run. It's ok if it doesn't look the way we thought it was going to look, because thankfully, God knows the bigger plan. God is God. Oftentimes a detour may be His way of getting you to look at Him and fulfill His purpose. God sees the whole picture. Your whole story. Your entire future. His purpose prevails. You can trust in Him, even when your plan derails off track, because He is good, in control, and His plans are always greater than our plans. |
